see below: Anti-inflammatory meds like Ibuprofen can be taken regularly with food, stiill there is a high risk for ulcer or gastritis if used for a while. If you have hypertension, there is increased risk for increasing further bp, and yes, cardiovascular problems like stroke. If you have been taking this med for a while then you should see your dr to find out the cause of what is causing your pain.

Even with food: Taking nsaids can cause GI problems, at 29 years of age strokes are not common unless pt has high BP or other vascular problems.- the smoking can cause many more problems!
