A member asked:
My mom is 72 yrs old, has history of hypertension and high cholesterol. she has been taking baby aspirin, but she's been bruising. can she stop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aspirin: This is really something that should be discussed with her primary care doctor who recommended the baby asa since there might be an appropriate reason to continue this with hypertension and high cholesterol. Bruising is unsightly but not dangerous.
