Aspirin to Elderly, or Bleeding, what is best? Time, It is not Christmas Yet! June 15, 2017

Anywhere from 40% to 60% of older people take daily aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke. Studies have shown that low doses of the blood-thinner can significantly lower the risk of heart problems, especially among people who have already had a heart attack or stroke.

Why Aspirin May Be More Dangerous for Older People

Is this True? Is this False? There are studies. These studies suggested, it is wrong, and aspirin is more danger for older people then it is safe and preventive. However, studies did not shot at all that Aspirin does not work as prevention for those who are under 65 years old. So, now the question is, does Aspirin really prevent anything such as stroke or MI? In article there is no any attempt to ask this simple question, so there is no any answers. Why? In my point, this is first question author ask before start to type the publication. Is this article has something to say? I see nothing so far. So, the claim that Aspirin is more dangerous for older people has no any prove. And of cause, it is majestic word, "MAY BE". SO, it May be, or it May be not, who cares, money would be posted on author's account, regardless.
      Let us take a look at the Aspirin, what is this about and why so many people take it daily?  The matter of fact Aspirin the same as Plavix do not prevent heart attacks or stroke. It is more to prevent fear of being left behind by our Medical Industry. It is hope that I can do something to be healthier then I am. Also it is long term of brain washing that Aspirin is the best medicine to deal with Migraines, and to prevent strokes because of practically almost every one has high blood pressure periodically. Take a look at any movie. What is most important character ask his or her supportive character? Give me Aspirin! This is most effective way to put into mind that Aspirin is 'must be'.
      If author really wished to study something what is valid then why do not study how Aspirin really work or not for every one, old or not too old. It was not the goal. So, the cheapest way to avoid the problem is just to say 'it may be'. Work all the time.

In the study, Peter Rothwell, professor of neurology at the University of Oxford, and his colleagues analyzed data from the Oxford Vascular Study, which followed more than 3,000 people who had had a heart attack or stroke and were given aspirin or other anti-clotting drugs by their doctors. After 10 years, Rothwell found that ulcers and bleeding events—a common side effect of aspirin—were more common among people over 75 than those under 65.

      Personally I would suggest to Peter Rothwell, professor of neurology at the University of Oxford to study another 30,000 people to find out that people after 65 have higher odd of ding then those under 65. They can take studies to the higher level and study next 300,000 people who will die early, those under 30 or those over 65.
      At the same time I will say, bleeding is not only side effect of Aspirin. Bleeding is the result of blood clots. 75mg of Aspitin a day does not prevent stroke. Stroke is not all the time fatal. After clot started to dissolve, not dissolved yet but started to dissolving, so it is no longer fatally danger,  bleeding may start, and all the time swelling. This is why one of the sings is swelling on the leg, poor circulation, broken blood vessels.
      it is presented that 75 mg Plavix or 75 mg Aspirin will prevent stroke. So, if it did not then what dose of Aspitin or what other treatmnt our medical industry suggest to be used in ER or at home?
      "Are You Mined To Go Home?" - typical type of Therapy in ED of NYC Brooklyn Hospitals. It is the same in other hospitals as I read on GOOGLE or Flicker. Medical Care does not want to deal with bleeding. If Aspirin did not work the it is better to sent for Minister. Probably it is more protective then be transferred into police car for refusing to go out of hospital bed.

“The overall increased risk for older people surprised us,” says Rothwell. “And the proportion who did have major consequences from the bleeding also surprised us. We were surprised by the extent to which the bleeds were causing disability and even death.”

 As I just said, are Rothwell surprised that people without bleeding do not get disability or die compare with those who has strokes one after another for many years before one will finally fatal? At least , do not be so obvious in expressing your surprising. Personally I am not really surprised what Professors our medical providers did have in medical school, and they all very well paid. After being educated by rothwells  at the University of Oxford  or other prominent universities of US,  what we suppose to meet in ED or in medical clinic?

Fortunately, there is a way to offset the risk of bleeding from aspirin: by prescribing a proton pump inhibitor, a class of drugs that reduces the amount of acid, which can contribute to bleeding, produced by the stomach. Studies show that they can reduce bleeding events by up to 90% in the tract. But doctors have been reluctant to add another drug to an elderly person’s typically long list of medications, and the practice of viewing aspirin-related bleeds as minor also means that the risks of bleeding aren’t being addressed properly.    

So, to prevent risk of stroke doctor Rx Aspirin. Then to prevent side effect or Aspirin doctor Rx proton pump inhibitor. What doctor must Rx to prevent risks of proton inhibitor use? I do not believe that this medicine has no side effects. So, there must be some other medicine to prevent risks of side effect of ..... . Sorry I lost. It looks for me as Christmas Carol: " at the first day of Christmas my sweetheart gave to me ..... ." I love this song!
       It Is Not Christmas Yet, Time ? Safe this article for December!

If you are already taking daily aspirin after a heart attack, or in an effort to prevent your first one, Rothwell does not recommend that you stop immediately, since that can also cause a rebound effect that could be bad for your health. But he says it might be worth discussing with your doctor whether adding a proton pump inhibitor would make sense to protect you from the potentially dangerous side effects of bleeding.      

      How much they paid you, Mr. Rothwell? Is this really good money to sell your Soul?
