How pain works and why it shouldn't be tolerated
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] Every person has experienced pain more than once in their life. This is the body's reaction to harm caused to it, which helps us survive. So, pain warns of a threat — do not try boiling water with your finger, do not touch fire, be careful with sharp objects. However, living with long-term pain can be very uncomfortable: sleep is lost, productivity decreases, mood deteriorates, not to mention physical suffering. Getting rid of it, in turn, is necessary not only to restore a normal quality of life, but also for health - long-term pain exhausts the endocrine and immune systems of the body, weakening its protective functions. To relieve pain, analgesics are used in most cases, blocking the transmission of pain signals at the level of the brain or peripheral nerves. One of the most popular types of analgesics are the so-called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - according to statistics, they are prescribed to every third patient.

Due to specially selected components, NSAIDs have not only an analgesic effect, but also an anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effect. Most often, these drugs are used for muscle and joint pain, neuralgia, but they can be used for headaches and toothaches, fever, etc. It is important that, unlike steroid drugs, NSAIDs do not weaken the immune system and metabolic processes. However, there are side effects: studies have shown that most non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs increase blood pressure. According to experts, there are also safe painkillers for hypertensive patients in Russia. In the program "Live Healthy" on Channel One, Elena Malysheva said, that some headache medications can be dangerous for hypertensive and heart patients, as they increase blood pressure. She named naproxen, the active ingredient in Novema,
And most importantly, to choose an effective and safe method of pain relief, you need to see a doctor. The doctor will understand the causes of pain, assess its intensity, the patient's condition, and then offer optimal treatment methods, including correctly prescribing medications.
