Do you take baby aspirin daily?

[AARPTeri]

There are several reasons that people are told to take baby aspirin every day, do you take it?  Why?

[AlekaMunroe]

No, I do not. I have multi organ autoimmune autonomic small fiber neuropathy for which I get IVIG treatments each week, stage IV chronic kidney disease and a pacemaker for bradycardia. My neurologist and nephrologist and cardiologist don’t want me taking more meds than I have to. 

[Convert94]

I've been taking baby aspirin daily for years now and I'm not dead yet.

[JoanAMcCormick1]

Yes

[c722852k]

I have afib and should be on a blood thinner. However I also have leukemia and after undergoing chemotherapy I am chemo pills which is counterindicated with blood thinners (apparently they increase the possibility of internal bleeding that can not be stopped) so I take the baby aspirin which is not as effective as actual blood thinners but doesn't have the risk.

[aruzinsky]

No, because that's for suckers.  Instead, I take half of an adult aspirin every day because it's cheaper.

[normaswesley1]

No. Ended up with bleeding on the brain because grams was too severe;  I actually had a mild stroke.  Once that was discovered was told not to use any aspirin; that was 5 years ago.

[gizmo48]

[cfmorford]

I take a full-sized aspirin (325mg) at bedtime. Been doing that for many years with no adverse gastric effects.

[gd5585]

For more than 30 years I have taken a 325 grain aspirin each morning with no gastric or other ill effects.  I have recently stopped taking aspirin in order to have a dental procedure and am unsure whether I should resume aspirin at all or at 83 grain rather than 325.  I have had a TAVR aortic valve replacement.

[k932801s]

I take my full-sized aspirin (325 mg) in the morning at the start of my day. Also have been doing that for many years with no adverse gastric effects. I can tell when I do not take it or take it later in the day.

[mappy1953]

I've been takinf one 325mg for yrs each morning especially works for my knees !

[c722852k]

325mg is not baby aspirin,,it's full strength and is not, that I know of, recommended for heart. glad thou it works for yur knees because I have 2 bad knees and wish I could find something besides surgery

[azlenhart]

I take 1 325mg Asprin at bed time for my arthritis. I am 70 and havedonethis forabout 5 years now.It helps mesleep better,notwkinginpain all night long.  It seems to work for about 6 hours.  I do not take Ibuprofin or tylenol at all.  I have no heart problems but do have mild cholesterol issues at about 230. My good cholesterol is really  high and I do not take statins.  They caused me alotof pain and stopping them did not change my 240 levelsat all.
