Nausea is a common adverse effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which can occur due to irritation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Pinpoint pupils, arrhythmias, and bronchospasm are not common adverse effects of NSAIDs. Pinpoint pupils are associated with opioid use. Arrhythmias can occur with certain medications that affect the cardiac rhythm, and bronchospasm is associated with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
