Did not have nose bleed before starting this baby aspirin. anyone else have this problem?

Yes: Aspirin can negatively affect the body's ability to clot the blood. Thus it is easier to have bleeding problems, such as nosebleeds. Discuss this with your doctor.

Yes: Aspirin prevents heart attacks and strokes by interfering with platelet aggregation which is the first step in blood clotting. As such, bleeding is more apt to occur. You can't get the benefit without accepting the risk. That's just how it is. If nose bleeds are a problem, you should see an ENT specialist. You may have a polyp, ulcer, or something else that's bleeding and needs care.
