Can Anti Inflammatories Be Administered To Heart Patients?

yes my husband had a slight stroke last Thursday. We stayed in the hospital from Thursday to Sunday. His sugar went up to 600. The sugar doctor got it down before he left the hospital to 126. The heart said his heart was ok. He has a pacemaker, defibulator a stint in his neck. He has cOPD sleep amnea. He is suppose to wear the mask every night but, he does nt. He had a heart attack back in the 90s. He has congestive heart failure. He fell Wed of this week. We had to call 911 they run 3 xr ays and a cat scan. We cant get him to a primary care doctor because he cant walk. Should he be on anti inflammatories? He cant take aleve because he is on blood thinner. Is it ok for an ice pack he is taking tylenol.

Thanks for your query...
your husband suffers from multiple ailments..copd sleep apnea leads to hypoxia at night which may lead to stroke. ..It is better if you counsel him to put on bipap at night...nowadays only nasal maska are available which are comfortable. ..as for anti inflammatory medication there are many medications which do not interact. ..you can give him tramadol and even opioid patches if pain is too severe. .
