A member asked:
Having a blood test tomorrow for persistent headaches - including gold vial and purple vial. i normally would be on aspirin for the pain - should i avoid aspirin before a blood test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: There should no reason to avoid the aspirin for this reason. One might be concerned that the aspirin might worsen the headaches if taken too much. There is some llierature to suggest that pain pills of any kind might further headaches. Best wishes.
