Ugh, this is terrible news.
I have a family history of heart disease, so I've been taking a small aspirin daily as part of my doctor's recommendation. I've been trusting this to help increase my chances of avoiding a heart attack.
I'm going to keep taking it. I don't think I'll even talk to the doctor about it.

- zatertip 7y agoConsult with your doctor about getting on a statin. And if you have a family history of heart disease, I'd guess you qualify for aspirin as primary prevention.
- tellak 7y agoThere new guidelines in the US that still recommend aspirin based on cardiovascular risk. That aspirin increases the risk of bleeding is old news. The difficulty has been in quantifying the risk/benefit. You should consult with your doctor about your specific circumstance.
