I agree as there are divided opinions and risks about taking baby aspirin with statins. It can cause ulcers and internal bleeding. Definitely worth to ask my cardiologist. Thanks.

This week my PCP recommended increasing my baby aspirin to 2 a day due to plaque building up in my brain causing blockages there. He said to only used coated aspirin and take with food to minimize GI bleeding risk. Now, in addition to the CAD and brain issues (chronic microvascular ischemia and lacunar strokes) he suspects some carotid blockage so I have an ultrasound in 10 days. The tendency to plaque build ups is insidious.
