We have agreed that aspirin is not prescribed for everyone and not always, because it causes bleeding. Bleeds come from different places but most often from the stomach.
If this happens suddenly, there may be vomiting of blood or something similar to coffee grounds. This is what blood looks like when it is clotted by stomach acid.
May be black tarry stools. This is also digested blood, but already at the exit from the intestines. To see such a stool, you need to digest at least 50 milliliters of blood that has poured out somewhere in the stomach area. Maybe it poured out above the stomach, or maybe slightly lower.
In general, when you come across this in practice, it is not immediately clear where the blood came from. Sometimes a person swallows blood from nosebleeds and then vomits coffee grounds. Sometimes coughs up blood from stomach. There are different kinds of miracles. If something similar happens, then immediately call an ambulance.
If you are taking aspirin and suddenly suddenly feel weak and dizzy, and even with a pain in the abdomen, then this is it.
Hemorrhage in the brain also happens, but rarely. You are most likely at risk of bleeding from a stomach ulcer.
Sometimes the blood from the stomach ulcer oozes slowly. Weakness rolls over a person, his working capacity decreases. The analyzes find low hemoglobin and low ferritin. Sometimes it takes months. The diagnosis is also not always made immediately.
So don't poison yourself with aspirin unless you need it.
So you can spit on aspirin and never eat it?
Well, taking aspirin sporadically for a headache usually doesn't do much harm.
If stroke risk or a high heart attack, then a cardiologist, neurologist or vascular surgeon with a clear conscience will prescribe you aspirin. Yes, you will run the risk of stomach bleeding. But this risk is lower than the risk of getting a heart attack. In addition, they rarely die from bleeding from the stomach. But from a heart attack - very often. Is this point clear?
