I’ll continue to take my daily Bayer 81mg aspirin.
I’d rather take an aspirin than warfarin or coumadin.
I have taken a 81 mg daily until this year. I began when I was 54. I was in pretty good physical shape but surprising me, hypertension was showing up in all BP tests. I didn’t show a lot of blockage in stress tests but could not get BP lower without some BP medication daily. I was also told to take a 81 mg aspirin.
Now 15 years later, my BP is still fairly well controlled with daily medication but my wife’s cardiologist tells me that 81 mg aspirin is no longer viewed as a panacea.
Since both parents lived to about 90 and one had a stroke from a hemorrhage not a blockage, I have looked at the more recent studies and decided to quit taking aspirin.
Me too. 81Mg of aspirin isn't gonna get me. More likely it will be the Bleu cheese salad dressing or the bratwursts or the dark hoppy ale I love so. But...you're a long time dead so...bottoms up!
