My fammily Dr has prescribed 800 mg ibuprofen every 6 hrs as needed for my chest pain. I'm also running a constant fever of 101.4 F and have been for weeks, so the ibuprofen not only helps ease the pain but breaks the fever for a little while.

The problem is, the med came with two pages of warnings! I had no idea Motrin could cause heart attacks, ulcerative bleeding, etc. I have ulcerative colitis and I certainly don't need to hemmorage. I also don't want a stroke or heart attack!

Are they just trying to scare me to death? Does anyone have any advice? My Dr. is aware of all my other health issues.

Thank you so much for reading this.
