Can people with high blood pressure eat ibuprofen?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have high blood pressure. It has been two years, and recently I need to take a medicine called Ibuprofen. Is it okay to take Ibuprofen for high blood pressure?

Doctor's answer:

This ibuprofen medication is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, primarily used for its analgesic and antipyretic effects. If you have hypertension and experience sudden pain, you can take this medication, but it should not be used to lower blood pressure. For hypertension, it is recommended to use medications such as ACE inhibitors to manage blood pressure.
