90% of older daily aspirin users who have a bleeding incident are also taking a prescription blood thinner!
That personal decision is so stupid, I do not even know what to say.
Are there studies for older daily aspirin users who do NOT take a blood thinner?
My own instinctive guess - the aspirin users are healthier than the non-users.
I used to take a blood thinner, Eliquis, for two months after my quad by-pass. $1000 per month was excruciating!................$5 for a bottle of aspirin is much better!..........
My blood is thin, it is what saved my life long enough to get on aspirin when I was diagnosed with clot shot. One full aspirin a day was prescribed, which I took for about a year until I started having bruises. I cut to one small aspirin a day.
One study I read found that a small aspirin every third day still held thinning properties. That study was for normal people, not those with clot shot. My thinner blood allows me to be on that routine even though I still have the Fauci clots.
Occasionally I have a small pain in one spot in my calf which apparently is clotting. I temporarily up my aspirin a little.
