Probably not: Omega 3`s and low dose Aspirin work at different levels. Omega 3`s replace cell products that release products of inflammation while the omega 3`s don't. Aspirin affects the blood platelets that normally control clotting and bleeding.

At home heart monitor caught A-fib three times. Heart dr or pcp never even told me. They just said to lose weight and take a baby aspirin a day. I found out when I got my medical records. Is this serious? What else should I do?
