So I've been on and off Aspirin. Took it probably 4-5 times "consistently" for less than a month at most. Around 125mg daily, would usually drop it after some weeks.
Only later I heard that ideally you should easy out of aspirin in order to avoid problems with blood thickening/increased stroke and heart attack risk.
My question is, how does that work? Is the risk permanently increased if I stop it cold Turkey? Or is it a momentary thing after you stop, that will go back to normal after a few weeks?
Just curious since I stopped Aspirin for good some months back and haven't had any "issues", but if I should be worried if taking any medication that might increase blood flow (more blood flow with thicker blood does sound like a disaster).
