Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Thank you for your query.
Celebrex can increase your risk of heart attack or stroke, especially if you use it long term or take high doses. I would suggest you to use home remedies like turmeric & ginger tea, magnesium supplements, applying olive oil, brisk walk(start with 15 minutes) . If the symptoms worsens I would advice you to meet your treating doctor.
I hope this answers your query.
With best regards,
