Over 60? These 5 Pills Could Increase Your Heart Attack and Stroke Risk | Dr. William Li

#Over60Health #SeniorHealth #HealthyAging After sixty, the body no longer responds to medications the way it once did. Drugs that may have worked safely for years can begin to affect the heart, circulation, and blood vessels differently as the body ages. These changes are often gradual. There may be no obvious warning signs, no sudden symptoms—just subtle shifts that develop quietly over time. In this video, Doctor Marcus Evans discusses why several commonly used medications may raise the risk of heart attack and stroke after age sixty, even when they have been part of a daily routine for many years. This video is not about creating fear or encouraging anyone to stop prescribed treatments. It’s about understanding how aging changes the way the body processes medications—and why those changes deserve attention. Because in many cases, the greatest risk isn’t necessarily the medication itself... It’s continuing to use it the same way while your body is no longer the same. --- 📚 SOURCES & REFERENCES: • American Heart Association (AHA) — Cardiovascular risk and medication interactions • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) — Aspirin use for primary prevention • National Institutes of Health (NIH) — NSAID-related cardiovascular risk research • Mayo Clinic — Long-term effects of Proton Pump Inhibitors • Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) — Medication safety concerns in older adults • National Institute on Aging — How aging affects drug metabolism --- #HeartHealth #SeniorHealth #MedicationSafety #HealthyAging #Over60Wellness --- ⚠️ MEDICAL EDUCATION DISCLAIMER This video is provided for educational and informational purposes only.
