problems with long term use of advil and aleve

I have been taking advil and aleve long term...at night both of them together.  I just had my blood work done and I have 2pt elevated level on my liver numbers.  Now I am worried.  I have looked and I have many side effects from long term use of advil/aleve.  I have stiff neck, headaches, issues with ringing in the ears, eyes. Aches and night sweats.  Just wondering if I stop taking both all together WILL all these things possible go away and my liver be back to its best? How long does that take? I never realized it could be the pain killers/anti inflamitorys I was taking that were causing headaches, neck aches and so much more

Everyone is different. I have taken only advil (alot) per day for the last 20yrs. I however do not have any issues .

You may ask your doctor.
