Who all takes baby Aspirin daily to reduce their chances of a heart attack? I'm only 29 but I've taken 162 mg of Aspirin daily for about a year now just because heart attacks are prevelant on my dad's side of the family and since I already had an ablation for a-fib when I was 23, I'm deathly afraid of having a heart attack. My theory is, it's better if I start keeping my blood on the thinner side now. I figure it might keep me trappin' for a few extra years. Anybody else? Particularly younger people?

Have you talked to your doctor about the dosage you are using ? I only ask because my heart doctor had me on blood thinner for Afib and switched me to a high dose of aspirin ( 325 mg I think ) after I quit the blood thinner. After being released by the cardiologist my regular doctor had a fit about dosage of aspirin I was using and told me to only take 80 mg a day and to take that before bed . Thats what bad . Which Dr do you listen to ?

I do the 80 a day and was having trouble bleeding like a stuck hog, if I nicked myself. Neighbor told me to try it before bed. Fixed it.

I am on prescribed daily lo dose aspirin. Have been for several years. Was on regular aspirin before my ablation that solved the intermittent a-fib because I refused to take the other common blood thinners. Ablation was one of the best health decisions I have made. Got me off the high powered meds that were only partially effective in controlling the a-fib.

I take a low dosage tablet every day plus a blood thinner.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.
