From my cardiologist’s explanation, COX-1 protects the stomach lining, so blocking it with older NSAIDs like diclofenac can cause ulcers. COX-2 inhibitors like etoricoxib spare the stomach but can increase heart risks. Honestly, both kinds worry me now—my own heart is stable, but the *garmi* of a spicy meal feels safer than the chill of a prescription. I stick to paracetamol and miss the simple relief of a Combiflam after a long day hunched at the desk.
