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

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.

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.

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.

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.

She turned to my brother in law and said “ get the car we are going to the hospital .” ER took me in immediately, injection of Levvonox. Continued with for 8 months. Now I take a baby aspirin every day.
