Brief Answer:
INR is in normal range. Discuss aspirin with your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. With no history of clotting or any cardiac issue, average INR of 0.8 to 1.1 is acceptable. low dose blood thinners like aspirin can be considered if you have any previous history of high blood pressure of cardiac problem or TIAs. Talk to your doctor and let them help you in this regard deciding whether to use any thrombolytics or not. I believe low dose aspirin like 81 mg a day won't be a bad option and can be considered. Let your doctor decide what is best for you.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
