Is Taking Aspirin Safe For Chest Pain While Suffering From High BP?
I am in China now experiencing for the first time very cold weather. I am from the Philippines and never experienced this. I have a high blood pressure problem and taking maintenance. Now I am experiencing chest pains and would often burp and feel better. should I take aspirin aside from my maintenance? thank you
No. aspirin lead to bleeding with high blood pressure. First do ECG rule out angina or myocardial infarction changes. For high BP, simple 5 mg enalapril should be started. along with drug you should take more vegetables,low salt diet,more water.
