AFib - Question about blood thinners

My Electrophysiologist and Hematologist(s) in unison say the aspirin and the thinner work in separate ways. As my platelets approach the high range of normal I've noticed an instance where I bled freely from a small cut. Recent reports in the media have linked aspirin to brain bleeds.

Perhaps you could ask to take half the aspirin dosage? My Mom was a smaller person, and that is how we handled the bleeding issue with her. I have never had to deal with the issue as I took so much aspirin in early stages of arthritis that my body cannot tolerate any amount of it now.
