I went to the doctor today and it turns out I have a heart murmur. We are all quite puzzled as I am only 33 with no history of such in my family.
I was recently taking Bextra. My MDs are puzzled. I am wondering if Bextra is the cause?
Anyone on here an MD and/or biochemist by chance? Does anyone know if Bextra causes murmurs?
I contacted the FDA, but I imagine I will get the sugar coated answer. I also contacted the CDC, doubt any luck there either. In the mean time, I thought I would make the rounds and see if anyone knows of this possible connection.
Anyone on here taking Bextra and having heart murmurs?
Thanks...anyway, making the rounds as I am sure someone knows something about this drug.
I know Vioxx had something with blood pressure, but I was not really paying attention (election kept me in a state of shock). I don't remember hearing that it caused murmurs. Any 411 would be appreciated.
