Hi There

After going through your query I understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that aspirin is an anti-platelet drug oftenly used after Angioplasty or CABG but it can irritate gastric and duedonal mucosa resulting in upper GI bleeding in some patients. It's always better to stop taking aspirin if it is causing GI bleeding even with low dose. Your physician already has stopped aspirin .

Kindly add rentidine or omeprazole to avoid acid reflux .

Hope to have been Helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Navneet Bansal
