What sort of trouble do you imagine or have your heard about? Or are you already taking it and having a problem of some sort?

This may be more than you are willing to share, and I'd understand perfectly if that is the case....but, do you have a risk, or series of risks, that have you taking the aspirin? I am on a Direct Oral Anti-Coagulant, or DOAC, one of the recently developed novel anti-coagulants that use a different clotting mechanism as their targets. Aspirin has its limited use as a prophylactic against stroke, but it is limited...and that is why the better choices for some of us who have a CHA2DS2-VASc score higher than about 1.5 is one of the DOACs. For example, if you have an arrhythmia, or you have non-stablized deposition of plaque (haven't been on a statin for several years by now), you have a risk of mortality associated with displaced clots washed upstream toward the heart or the brain, or into the lungs.
