NSAID-induced clots are most commonly seen in the joints and the lungs. Other possible complications include cardiovascular events, such as heart failure, sudden death, or stroke, in some cases. NSAID-induced blood clots are generally reversible, but if the blood vessels become damaged, it may lead to heart attacks, liver damage, and kidney failure. Some cases of blood clots developing in the lungs have been reported after NSAID use [
