Painkillers can, in fact, cause your heart to stop beating/heart attack. If you take too many painkillers, if you take other medications that can interact with painkillers, if you already have a heart condition and take certain painkillers, yes...it can cause a heart attack. You should never take prescription painkillers that are not prescribed to you by your physician and it's always best to have your prescriptions filled at the same pharmacy. That way, the pharmacist can catch any dangerous interactions that might occur between prescriptions. In addition, if you already have a heart condition and you are taking any kind of heart medication, it is very important to clear with your physician (get the okay) to take any kind of painkillers including over the counter painkillers like Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, etc.
