Please discuss it with a doctor first if you're considering continuing to do so. My father ended up in the hospital with internal bleeding after he decided to start taking low dose aspirin on a whim because "it's good for heart health". I just straight up don't have it in my home because the last time I did, it predictably didn't work well because I was on prednisone and checking every little interaction gets tedious. Taking more than you need to of most things is kind of pointless. Outside of this particular cause, you can live a healthy lifestyle to help prevent/control hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, and other problems that can increase your risk for stroke. There's a lot of ways to get sick or die - no point in stressing too much about one particular problem that is otherwise out of your control.
