Jaipur. The risk of heart attack always increases when some medicines are misused in our body or they are consumed for a long time. These medicines can have a serious impact on our health, which can create the risk of heart attack. So, let us understand in detail which medicines we should take very carefully and which medicines we should stay away from, especially when we want to reduce the risk of heart attack.
In a research study, scientists have found that NSAIDs (NonSteroidal AntiInflammatory Drugs) are medicines used to reduce pain, swelling and fever, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. Although these medicines provide temporary relief, taking them for a long time can have negative effects on the heart. Especially if a person already has heart problems, these medications can increase blood pressure and also increase the risk of blood clots, which can lead to a heart attack.
Corticosteroids: These medicines are given to reduce inflammation in the body, such as prednisone. Although these medications control inflammation, most of them can cause excess sodium and water to accumulate in the body, which can increase blood pressure and increase the risk of heart attack.
Decongestants: Medicines used to treat colds and allergies, such as pseudoephedrine, can speed up the heartbeat and increase blood pressure. These types of medications can be especially dangerous for people who already have heart problems, as they can increase the risk of heart attack.
Thyroid Medications: Thyroid medications like Levothyroxine can affect heart rate and blood pressure. If a person has high thyroid levels, it can be responsible for causing heart problems, so these medicines should also be taken with caution.
Certain Diabetes Medications: Some medications used to treat diabetes, such as thiazolidinediones (such as pioglitazone) and sulfonylureas, may also increase the risk of heart attack. These medicines can cause water to accumulate in the body and put extra pressure on the heart.
Antidepressants: Some antidepressants, such as tricyclic antidepressants, can increase blood pressure and speed up the heartbeat, increasing the risk of heart disease and heart attack.
Antipsychotic Medications: These medications are prescribed for mental health problems, but some antipsychotics can cause increased blood pressure and other heart problems, which can increase the risk of heart disease and heart attack. So what to do?
If you need to take any of these medicines, always do so after consulting a doctor. Because only the doctor can determine which medicine is right for you according to your health and which medicine can be dangerous for your heart.
It is always most important to be careful, seek treatment at the right time and take care of your health. According to an Ayurvedic Journal publication, the most important thing to prevent heart diseases is to keep our lifestyle healthy, exercise regularly, eat right diet and take our medicines properly.
