What Causes Elevated Blood Pressure Levels?
I went to my Doctor today for a general check-up. Knowing he would check my prostate, and wanting to lessen the pain, I took two Aleve. The nurse, when checking my blood pressure, said it was 158/130. I said that cannot be right, because my cardiologist took my BP in January and said it was 116/70. Does Aleve cause my BP to raise that much in such a short time?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Naproxen usually doesn't lead to so much elevation in blood pressure. It can lead stomach ache, heartburn, nausea like side effects.
It is advisable to check your blood pressure by MBBS doctor or by physician and if blood pressure is still high than will think further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
