Let’s pay attention to these two very common drugs, they put the heart at risk

In recent years, the consumption of drugs has grown in Italy and in the world. The increasingly fast and stressful lifestyle, pollution and lack of rest dramatically increase the risk of disease. In many cases, however, the best solution is not to increase the amount of medication you take. There are some very common products that, on the one hand, help us, on the other expose us to more serious pathologies. And we pay attention to these two very common drugs, they put the heart at risk. Let’s see why and the solutions to replace them with natural remedies.

Be careful not to overdo the painkillers

Scientific research conducted by a Danish study group in collaboration with Stanford University highlights the dangers of the most common pain relievers. In particular, those based on diclofenac, probably the most widespread on the market.

The study shows that those who use these painkillers very often have a 50% higher risk of incurring diseases such as strokes and heart attacks. For this reason we should reduce their consumption or even eliminate them whenever possible.

Let’s pay attention to these two very common drugs, they put the heart at risk: the dangers of medicines to treat the stomach

Recently, the EMA, the European Pharmacovigilance Agency, has also targeted another type of drug, those based on domperidone.

We all know them because they are prescribed to treat digestive disorders and stomach diseases. Few, however, know that these medicines can cause arrhythmias and that they become very dangerous if used for a long time or in excessive doses.

For this reason, doctors recommend using them only in case of nausea and vomiting and to choose natural remedies for lighter pains. Again nature can help us. In many cases, a teaspoon of yarrow is enough to digest well and eliminate swelling and heartburn.

Obviously, for any ailment, pain or pathology, it is always better to contact your general practitioner or a specialist and avoid self-medication.
