Herd bad things?: Clopidogrel is like any antiplatelet med: There is a slightly increased risk of bleeding complications, but you can't say the drug was the "reason". If you're 77, your Mom must be pushing 100. The risk of "brain bleeds" goes up steadily with increasing age. Arteries are like joints: They can just wear out.
