RE: Common Painkillers Increase the Risk of Heart Attacks
The pro wrestling business is a testament to this. A lot of people think it's general drug and alcohol abuse that's killed a lot of wrestlers at or before their 40s, but in actuality it's painkiller abuse.
But I don't think those wrestlers use NSAIDs. They are mostly prescribed opiate painkillers which are totally different drugs, much less toxic than NSAIDs to the human body. But the downside is they give euphoria and highly addictive. So a lot of people abuse then and sometimes it is possoble to overdose when mixed with alcohol.
Good point. But at the same time, wrestlers are known to not always use prescription drugs. Or that's how it used to be, the business has actually cleaned itself up by a considerable amount in the past 10 or so years.
Yes I know a lot of them use painkillers quite heavily.
