Does An Aspirin A Day Keep The Doctor Away?

I'm one of the many people that has added an aspirin a day to my daily regimen. Why? I have a history of heart conditions in my family; plus I was constantly hearing a rushing sound every day near my right ear' that sounded like little platelets running through my veins. I might be crazy, but the rushing sound DOESN'T happen when I take an aspirin.

Have you ever asked your doctor if you should be taking aspirin, you may get a different answer. There is always new research on whether or not taking an aspirin every day is the right thing to do.

SHOULD I TAKE AN ASPIRIN EVERY DAY?

It sounds like; the answer is....depending on your history; Maybe. Here's the latest thoughts on taking an aspirin a day.

Your doctor may suggest taking an aspirin a day if you've already suffered a heart attack or stroke.
If you haven't had a heart attack but you do have a stent in a coronary artery.
You've never had a heart attack, but you are at a high risk of having one.
You have diabetes and at least one other heart disease risk factor — like smoking or high blood pressure — and you're a man older than 50 or a woman older than 60. They say that : The use of aspirin to prevent heart attacks in people with diabetes but no other risk factor is controversial.

You should NOT take a daily aspirin if you:

Have a bleeding or clotting disorder.
Bleeding stomach ulcers
Aspirin allergies.

NOT SO FAST....

So...If you are already taking a daily regimen of Aspirin, it is NOT recommended that you quit. This can cause health problems like rebound effects that increase your risk of heart attacks!
