Asprin

[Yasyass]

I just wondering has anyone stopped taking daily asprin for a week as I am worried if this will mk more problems

[NorthantsSteve]

Hi Yasyass. Can I ask why you’re stopping?

[Yasyass in reply to NorthantsSteve]

Due to some hormonal problem I stopped it but didn’t realize it was over a week until today then I started to take it again since I started antibiotics I forgot the asprin dose I feel so scared and even bought myself a diary to write the days and times I take my meds

[NorthantsSteve in reply to Yasyass]

So you’ve accidentally stopped without direction from your doctor? I’d just restart them again at the daily dose you’ve been given. You could call the BHF nurses or ring your pharmacist but I don’t think it will have any impact.

Thank you for your reply

[NorthantsSteve in reply to Yasyass]

No problem. Aspirin takes about 10 days to fully clear your system so you weren’t back to pre aspirin levels in terms of clotting ability.

[Yasyass]

Thank you for your replies it’s the googling info that made me worry out of curiosity if asprin is supposed to help why if in emergency even if tk daily dose asprin they have to increase it to 375mg

[NorthantsSteve in reply to Yasyass]

They say to have a larger dose if you’re having a heart attack and in an emergency to break down any clots that are forming.

I stopped taking it a couple a month after stroke and Heart attack in 2008.

What u need to consider is , any other of ur meds blood thinners or widening ur veins. Talk to ur GP.

I was on Asprin for 2yrs after my heart attack, I then got a duodenal ulcer, I am not taking clopidogrel and it is doing good for the past 6yrs.

I take Aspirin every morning, also on Bisoprolol, and Prednisolone 2.5 mgs daily, but my stomach is protected by Omeprozole 20mgs also every morning.

I have a stent in one CA, and although I’ve had recent open heart surgery, cardiologist is adamant I must not stop the Aspirin.

So are you not taking Aspirin now?

I guess stents require you to have it?

Best wishes.
