I don’t. I suspect the daily low dose. He was a healthy guy about 50 and his doctor caused his death. He was on the aspirin for some kind of heart prevention. He was given a new blood pressure Med and a new diuretic. He had complained to his wife that the new bp Med made him feel dizzy sometimes. He complained that this diuretic made him have to pee too often.
He got up in the middle of the night to pee. Must have felt very dizzy. Fell and hit his head on the wood floor. All 3 drugs combined in a deadly way to kill a youngish healthy guy who played tennis every week. He was the greatest guy, too.
Awful thing to have happened—so sorry. Condolences to you and your family members.
Multiple drugs can be very risky. I sometimes double-check with my pharmacist, even after a doc says taking two or more things is ok. MDs seem to know very little about drug interactions, including the other things we might take over the counter, like antihistamines or vitamins, that we don’t even think to mention to the doc. Certain food substances can interact badly with meds, as well. That’s what the pharmacist advice window is for.
It’s worth noting that the daily aspirin alone was not the only thing that contributed to your beloved cousin’s death, for the sake of others considering taking the daily mini dose. And everyone should call their doc immediately if they feel a bad reaction to a prescribed drug. Some you can stop immediately and some you need to taper off.
