My blood pressure yesterday was 127/79 pulse 81 then 106/62 pulse 86 in the evening. Today a.m. 121/74 and p.m.114/70 pulse 84 a.m. And 77 p.m. I have had weight loss and low energy. Sweats at night for the past 2 nights. Should i be going to the Dr.?

Hi there. I think it's a very high dose of Aspirin you are currently taking and i dint find any information as to why you are such a high dose .
Also yours symptoms can be explained by overactive Thyroid gland and i suggest you start from there although your blood pressure and pulse seem to be normal. First get a blood thyroid hormone levels checked. That includes Free T3 T4 and TSH. If it is abnormal you need to take therapy for that.
Also you need to speak to your Physician as to cutting down Aspirin dosage and if you need it at all as you run a high risk of Stomach ulcer with that.
Hope this helps.
