You are so lucky. My cousin suffered a head injury last month in the prime of his life, I call it iatrogenic even though he was at home (on vacation). He was taking diuretics which made him get up at night to pee, and a new blood pressure medication that made him dizzy upon standing up, and he passed out in the night after standing up from bed, his wife head the thud, he fell straight backward and hit his head on the floor. The baby aspirin he took daily as a preventative wouldn’t allow his brain bleed to be stopped. For a few days we were all praying for what would be a loooong wait for partial recovery.... But he didn’t make it.
You’re lucky. I am so afraid of brain injury now. We worry too little about our noggins. Whatever people take baby aspirin for, do they have a greater chance of clotting into a stroke, or do they have a greater chance of a bang to the head, THAT WONT STOP BLEEDING? I wouldn’t take baby aspirin for anything.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know a number of people who took aspirin or even advil, meds that thin the blood, and they couldn’t stop the bleeding from injury.
I fainted after taking losartin for BP about three weeks ago. Turns out I didn’t really need it.
What a shock for your family. My prayers are with you.
