What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Aspirin On A Regular Basis?

I am 62 with no history of heart problems, and have been taking an 81 mg aspirin every day for about 12 years......today I read a recent study saying that it could lead to bleeding in the brain.....and also that if one stops taking aspirin daily cold turkey it could lead to a brain embolism....any ideas ? thanks
