Ibuprofen for headaches every other day. Ok?

I get headaches balancing work, lack of sleep, taking care of kids and house chores. So I take 400mg of ibuprofen about 3 to 4 times a week. I’m ok during the weekend as I get more rest. But I don’t have a choice on weekdays. Will taking ibuprofen in this manner bad long term?

Consult a doctor. That aside, you're way below the concerning limits.

You’re better off asking a doctor. But I used to take them for pain when I competed in combat sports. And I believe being told it was not a good idea. But again. Please consult a doctor.

You are trying to reduce the symptoms without addressing the underlying root causes. It would be better to consult with a doctor.

If it's good you won't be worried. It doesn't sound good. I am not a doctor by any means but something that has helped me a lot was drinking a lot of water throughout the day and try electrolytes water for a first few days(3-4) days and see if it helps.

Watch for side effects. Only take meds for the least amount of time. Try yoga instead.

It is not. It can damage your kidneys / liver. Please see a doctor and ask for referral to neurologist.
