Do I Take Aspiring for the Rest of My Life after I Experienc Posted: 02-22-06 15:56pm


I had a mild TIA three months ago. I have completely changed my diet-no caffeine and plenty of fruit. I had blood work done and came back great and my blood pressure is 98/59 since I have started walking. I currently take 81mg of aspirin a day. How long should I continue to take aspirin. I am 32 and would it be wise to continue for the rest of my life? Thank you

If you’ve tested positive for TIA, you should take aspirin for the rest of your life. That won’t be a problem for you except if you have gastritis or a peptic ulcer. If you become pregnant, experts advise against taking aspirin in the third trimester of pregnancy. DISCLAIMER: "Ask a Doctor" Questions are answered by Dr. Nikola Gjuzelov, General Practitioner.
