Aspirin bleeding risk ‘balances out’ lower heart attack risk in ‘worried well’

Aspirin bleeding risk ‘balances out’ lower heart attack risk in ‘worried well’

I know that there have been quite a lot of links to research pieces posted on here over the years about various things or claims to do with asprin etc but everyone should be aware of the risks of asprin and bleeding amongst other things. I can also vouch for the bleeding internally as occasional use of asprin for headaches caused bleeding internally for me and 3 days in the hospital!

This piece came out this week from research done here in the UK and I thought I would link to it here on the site for those out there who may not have heard of the risks that asprin can cause.

As always with these things, please consult your doctor or Onc about this or anything else medical related before you decide to start or stop something.
