Regular aspirin use may raise stroke risk for healthy people

Regular aspirin use may raise stroke risk for healthy people - Guardian

Extract:

"People who regularly take aspirin to ward off strokes in later life could be doing themselves more harm than good, according to a new study. Researchers have found that the proportion of people over 75 who have suffered bleeding strokes has jumped ten-fold in the past 25 years, reflecting the increased use of antithrombotic drugs such as aspirin and warfarin.

There are two main types of stroke: one occurs when the blood flow to the brain is blocked by a clot; the other happens when a blood vessel bursts and bleeds into the brain. Antithrombotic drugs can reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks in people who are known to be at risk of the diseases, because they thin the blood and lessen the chance of developing blood clots. But thinner blood also raises the risk of bleeding."

'Bleeding' strokes occur when the blood vessel walls are thin. This is usually caused by excess blood volume, in turn caused by salt sensitivity. - You can reduce your risk of this kind of stroke by eating less salt and salty food. - See http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/conditions.html
