It's acceptable, but still isn't a solution. If you have heart attack symptoms you should go see a doctor as soon as possible. The pill you should take one of if you feel you are having a heart attack is an aspirin, (not Tylenol, not ibuprofen), and you still need to get to a doctor immediately.

∙ 13y agoWhile aspirin can be used to treat a heart attack, ibuprofen is not. Ibuprofen does not help to prevent clotting the way that aspirin does.

It will thin the blood and therefore reduce the blood pressure and may dissolve a blood clot that caused the heart attack or stroke.
Can you take Sudafed non drowsy with ibuprofen?
You should not take Excedrin Migraine and Ibuprofen together, because Excedrin Migraine (and regular Excedrin Extra Strength) contains Aspirin, which is in the same NSAID category that Ibuprofen is. Taking them together can increase the risk of damage to the stomach lining, which can cause ulcers. It is not recommended to even take Ibuprofen with the low-dose aspirin used to prevent heart attack and stroke, because Ibuprofen can wipe out the protective quality you are taking the low-dose aspirin for. Excedrin Tension Headache contains the Acetaminophen and Caffeine, but not the Aspirin, and this would be safe to take with Ibuprofen.
