Pain Killers: Instant Relief, Hidden Dangers? Know the Risks of Overuse!

• Pain killers block 'prostaglandins' to stop pain signals reaching the brain, offering relief without curing the pain source.
• Excessive use can severely damage kidneys by reducing blood flow, posing a higher risk for diabetics.
• Overuse may cause stomach ulcers, gastric issues, and internal bleeding by eroding the stomach's protective lining.
• Liver damage is a significant risk, especially with paracetamol, if taken beyond prescribed dosages.
• Frequent use can increase heart attack risk in individuals with high blood pressure due to water retention.

Why It Matters: While pain killers offer quick relief, their overuse carries serious risks to kidneys, stomach, liver, and heart.
