Increased hemorrhage (bruising/bleeding) is a side effect of aspirin. I experienced this in the past when my platelets were more elevated, which also increases risk of hemorrhage. Aspirin can definitely help with MPN microvascular symptoms like headaches. Aspirin is a medication where we have to determine whether the benefits outweigh the risks.
