Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Small dose aspirin has anti-platelet / used to reduce the incidence of clotting
It has no effects on the rate

The beats need documentation and investigation…
EKG / HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) / ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
