I took aspirin for 27 years after open heart surgery in 1994. It was useful as I have a Carbon mitral valve. At 70, I stopped as the sticky parts of my platelets had been stripped by the aspirin. Nicking myself shaving caused bleeding for a week. The risk reward while using warfarin was too much and I withheld it. Also, this medication had absolutely no medical oversight despite having a complete medical team for decades.
Dr. Gupta, I just wish to thank you for giving us your valuable time and for educating us people world-wide 🙏
Dear Sanjay, I have now watched several of your videos and I feel you are doing a great public service by enlightening us in matters of the utmost importance - our health! You are particularly skilled at explaining very complex issues so that the layman can understand; please keep up the good work. Thank you.
Thank u so much Doc for explaining things in such a simple way, five months ago I was diagnosed with coronary artery disease. I am on five different meds, i am having a lot of side effects, can hardly get out of bed
Hi doctors please help me sleep
Sleep hygiene google search. Magnesium maybe?
@@RickMartinCZcams 100% true. i hv tried Meg.glycinate suggested by Dr.sanjay worked well for me. i hv been taking from 3months
ASPRIN is HERO,
dont let anybody tell you otherwise,
its cheap,
thats why they slowly want to get rid of it....
I love the fact you explain things. Usually during check ups, doctors rush through but I always have questions that need answers.
I'm 67 and I have crippling arthritis that runs in the family. 20 years ago started getting CRP levels tested and each year it was increasing. I had an array of blood tests and I have not found a doc who knows what to do. I had a brief conversation with a researcher who studies CRP levels and he said aspirin does bring levels down. But I have asked a community of docs what I am suppose to do and no one wants to take on this concern of CRP levels and what to do about it. I had a doc tell me I'm doing everything right, nutrition, exercise. Ive had consultations with the specialty lab and they thought it might be my insomnia that started 20 year ago when I went into menopause. Ive had plenty of testing to see if I am bleeding and nothing is showing up. Aspirin really helps with pain. Better than using narcotics. I know you probably won't see this post but I thought I would at least express my appreciation for aspirin.
Thanks for all that you do for the public. Finally an honest person we can trust. 🌹🌹🌹
In dealing with the aftermath of a heart attack you among the many are very understandable and the unbiased truth you deliver will save lives and help with quality of life issues thank you
Thank you for this. I’m dismayed by how many 70 year olds who take 5-6 medications then go ahead and take ASA without doctor’s advice because some senior’s magazine advised it. Being able to have a thoughtful conversation about this, ca2+ supplements, and proton pump inhibitors makes me a better doctor, friend, and daughter. I’m grateful for your videos.
it amazes me that whenever a new medical problem springs up for me, you have a video addressing the problem. thank you so much, dr gupta! ☀️
Good morning Dr Gupta.
My name is Donna. And 3 years ago, I discovered that I have heart failure and an irregular beat. Which was a surprise to me, because it was not really bothering me, except that I started having this breathing problem, that I just thought was my usual, winter allergy from the neighbors chimny smoke. It was worse then usual. And I was starting to get swelled legs. And up until that, for my whole life, I have never been sick or diseases. I never took any medications, except the occasion asprin. I don't even get colds and flue, hardly ever but now, suddenly this. I have a bunch of family people, that had heart problems, which I think, is genetic and I thought maybe that missed me. But I guess not. I am 62 now. But when I was told that I had an irregular heart beat, I was at a little clinic and they were alarmed and wanted me to hurry and go straight to the hospital emergancy. But I have a dog, that needed somebody to look after her, so I went home instead. And the next day I went to the hospital. And I still felt pretty good. I certainly did not feel like I was going to drop dead, any moment.
I was at the hospital for several days. And from that moment on, I have never been the same again. They filled me up on a ton of medications, which have been changed a few times. And I became like a zombie for 2 and a half years. I have never been so sick, in my life. And the worse of those medications were blood thinners. I started having racing heart, breathless and 10 other side effects. First I was on Coumadin and then Xeralto. And during that time, I was in the hospital 4 times. I had sepsis around my heart and nearly didn't make it. Then 3 blood clots in my brain. Then bleeding. They took all night filling up my blood. And during the bleeding episode, the doctor, took off the Xeralto, cold turkey. And because of that two of the blood clots happend. Two clots, traveling together. The other clot was because I was unable to take my Xeralto for 3 days and that is how quickly it happens. It is the Xeralto that I mostly blame for all of my problems for 2 years.
Even though I got the strokes, the bleeding problem that I had, began to go away and after 2 weeks, the bleeding went away and has not returned. And as the bleeding went away, so did nearly every single side effect, that I was having. I felt nearly as good, as before taking all of those meds. Including the racing heart and breathlessness. The strokes still cause problems. So now I will only take asprin. I decided that I don't want to take any more other meds except Torsemide. I know that it is not perfect but it is the only thing that keeps my legs and lungs from filling up. And when you said magnesium, I tried that too and it seems to be helping really good for the swelling. I think that maybe I am sensitive to medications.
Any way, I do enjoy your channel and you have good information. So I thank you for that. And Merry Christmas to you.
I’ll pray for you sister hope you get better soon and God gives you healing .
How are you feeling now. Praying for you
Thank you Dr Gupta I just started following you on CZcams and the information you give us is very important and helpful and just by watching your videos you make less sutras full and relax and for the most part it’s very useful and educational.
I had a quadruple bypass 14 yrs ago. I was prescribed aspirin which I took for three months but it made my stomach ache… so my GP prescribed a PPI… I got indigestion and constipation ! So I stopped both drugs after 6 mths ! I sorted out my diet and walked miles! 14 yrs on I’m fit and well ( apart from recently when my Covid jab caused pericarditis)
I take a chewed up aspirin when I can’t take the pain from sciatica. I take it on a full stomach with lots of water. Helps my heart not hurting also. Only medication I take. Thank you Dr.
I still have to take aspirin, for good reasons you outline, but I have abandoned P.P.Is for their known long-term damage..
Your videos provide an invaluable service.
Wow, a real doctor...💯♥️❗️
Thank you for another informative video, truly grateful.
Taking vitamin c with aspirin will act as a buffer for aspirin. Reduces risk of bleeding in stomach
Thank you Dr. Gupta for this upload.
I feel you are a compassionate person.
Your knowledge is truly amazing. I have learned so much in such a short period of time from you. Especially about different heart issues. I have a periodic heart pause. I recently discovered it when I had a bout of insomnia. It was truly nerve wracking but you have calmed me down considerably with your videos on the subject. Thank you so much. I will continue watching and learn so much more.
Dr.Gupta you are blessings for me ur video on Magnesium was so enlighting. Thank u for for sharing. May God grace always be with you.
Thank you for another wonderful video .
your a very smart careing dr . thanks for the info xx
Thank u Dr. grate info. have a bless day.
Sanjay, I would you to know how much I really appreciate who you are not just your educational tidbits. I really loved it when you said in a recent video, how wonderful you feel when you get home from work, and you see that new people have subscribed to your cardiology channel as it showed some vulnerability. I imagine that what you see at work with people recovering from heart attacks and whatnot must give you the inspiration to keep making these great videos so as to help people stay out of the hospital in the first place You must come from a very nice family who instilled in you such virtues as love, caring, and wanting to make a difference in other peoples lives. I think your videos give people the one thing they need, hope!!!
ps. I am an Afib guy in America, and I am thinking of making an appointment with you.
This is very kind robert - thank you so much!
Thank you, Dr Gupta. I've watched maybe 6 of your videos this afternoon and they are all quite informative and helpful.
Greetings from Florida, USA. 🌴😊
Dear Sanjay I do appreciate you taking the time to explain the value of taking aspirin. I had problems with the water soluble tablet. A friend suggested taking the film coated type. since taking this things have improved with my digestion.
Will give you blood in bladder.
This doctor makes so much sense and good info. I just wish he and others like him would follow up much natural traditional Chinese medicine as well. Such a large open window no one is tapping it.
Thanks Dr Gupta. It's good to hear another cardiologist's advice, I take aspirin and warfarin. I guess the benefit outweighs the downside.
Thank you, Dr., your videos continue to be helpful to me in making health decisions. Liked and suscribed!
Thank you Doctor Sanjay. Have a nice day.
This is one of the best doctors.
Brilliant! Thank you! 🌿

Thank you Dr Gupta
Very helpful, as always, Dr. Gupta. Does the study by Li et al. in the Lancet last spring on risks of aspirin in the elderly change your recommendations, esp. for us elderly patients?

Thank you for all your teaching us about our hearts 💕 Hi I am now 86 years young just being diagnosed with aortic heart valve leakage and also about your valve lash leakage in tricuspid mine are the other two are moderate so I have been taking aspirin as advised by the doctor should I be taking the aspirin each night and what should I be most concerned about concerning my heart thank you God bless bye-bye
Got a 10 minute GP slot - get some prescription get the patient out the door - pills cause symptoms - get more pills to stop the symptoms ends in more & more pills then you don't know which one is causing the symptoms - vicious circle - conclusion get off all the pills you can !!! need more doc's like you going back to the root cause !! thank you
Thank you!
Excellent. I wish all those doctors can listen who over prescribe.
Dr gupta sir really an eye opener for ASPIRIN takers, thanks 28/11/2019

:)
Thanks Dr Gupta from Zimbabwe Africa..ive had a flow divertor due to an aneuysm in the brain n was put on aspirin n brillinta anti platlet..so app i will be on asprin for life
thank you Valerie
Dear Dr Sanjay ..thanks for an engaging presentation on a controversial issue about the benefits of aspirin. Diagnosed with triple vessel disease, I had CABG done 21 years ago and I have been on anticoagulants ever since and also Pan 40 to counteract acidity..one more issue is that is even for surgical tooth extraction or an an upper GI endoscopy I am required to get cardiac clearance and invariably advised discontinuation of aspirin for about 4 to 5 days. There is strong family history of CAD and high triglycerides. Is it essential that I continue with daily aspirin long after CABG?
Thanks and regards.
Great information
learn a lot from this video, thanks.
Dr Gupta, thank you so much for your videos. I've shared them with all my friends here in America.I read an article years ago that by Dr Andrew Weil (who practices traditional and complementary medicine) that there may also be a link between aspirin and pancreatic cancer. Any thoughts?
Hi doc thanks a lot for teaching with us .. you're so great 😘
Thank you for valuable information
Sounds like something to talk about this--because not sure that I have any reason to take. Was added in the hospital, where the only thing I know for sure was that I was monitored by a cardiologist (not why I went in). Interesting. Will be discussing this one.
It sure works for headaches
Almond is better
Hi Dr. Can I replace aspirin with alternative therapy like pine bark extract,cod liver oil etc for stroke prevention
Name Dropper! . . . Wish I was in Barcelona! 💖
You family must be do proud of you.
Absolutely bloody brilliant. Need Doctors like you in the bush here in Australia. Subscribed?
Thanks for the VDO, very helpful! Would you advise to take aspirin for someone who has had no heart problems at all, however has a Coronary Artery Calcium Score of 150?
Helpful. I take a a variety of supplements that I wish my MD would give his approval/disapproval.
Thank you Doctor.
Thank you so much. I am also now doing short vids on Instagram as 'YORKCARDIOLOGY' and on facebook as '@yorkcardiologist'.I also have a Whatsapp broadcast list and if you would like to be notified of short videos please do let me know on yorkcardiology@gmail.com Please consider subscribing and sharing:-)
What if you have a high risk for blood clots and don't want to take the other major dangerous drugs? Do you recommend anything safer?
Truth 💞💞💞💞💞Thank you
Dear Dr. Sanjay Gupta, thanks for your kind consideration. However, I wish you would recommend whether or not to take an aspirin in case of extreme emergency situations. Like in the 1st hour of a stroke or onset of a heart attack. Will an aspirin THEN help lessen the damages done of a heart attack ? Any lessening effects measured in the Troponin levels ? I would like to prepare a little emergency kit on-hand for the family. Let's keep them capillaries open !
Thank You for the information on proton pump inhibitors and magnesium deficiency. They give those to my adult son but I don’t know if he knows about the magnesium issue.
Rebound effect. Thank nice stopping an article increased risk of heart problems and attack. Can’t stop abruptly
Can’t just stop once on it
I was diagnosed with SLE at my 13. I am taking Ecospirin 75, HCQS 200 and Losarnorm 50 for long years. Now I have hypertension and muscle weakness.
Thank you Doc,
Why dont you make a comment on line about CHAD2 testing for those who should be on the new anticoagulants that greatly reduce strokes due to afib.
I.am finding friends on aspirin who have afib and fail the CHAD 2 scoring. When i chat with them and they then talk to their cardiologists about the CHAD2 worksheets, they get put on the correct therapy.
Many docs in the states appear to not know anything about the risk of stokes being signifcantly reduced when put on new/novel anticoagulants. CHAD2 scoring fits perfictly into your plan to.educate your patients in a strightforward way. Your wise advice is needed.
Thanks again,
Very detailed and excellent explanation. Thanks!
Thank you doctor 🙏
Thank you for bringing this to light! So many older people take a baby aspirin daily, every day for life, as preventative!! Any for anyone interested, just google natural foods and supplements that contain ASA.
Thank you So helpful. 💕💕💕
Thanks dr
Very interesting and informative
I understand this is an old video, but I’m a 47 yo male and had a CAC score of 2 in 2020, should I take a low dose aspirin and/or a low dose Statin?
I have changed diet, exercise more and supplements like Vit K2 and D. Thanks, I love your videos, I deal with Ectopics and your videos have done so much for my mental health and changes to almost cure them.
Brilliant doc, 🌈
Thanks for the explanation. One question, how about Allicin (from garlic), or garlic, to lower blood pressure.
I LOVE garlic, and onion!
You really Helping .people lat
Doc you will have blessings of God and patients
Thank you so very much Pankaj:-) I really appreciate your words
Thank you very much doctor.
The real problem with aspirin is when used as anti inflammatory for romatoid arthritis because in order to work the dosage has to be high and as a result the side effects more severe.
I take Aspirin for severe chest pain and chest pain goes away. I take it when ever I get chest pain. The chest pain that is not relieved my anti acid. At one time I did have stable angina.
Thank you for doing this video on tablets. You're so right
Dr's these days just say here take this. It's not a big deal to them. Thank you for caring about us!
Part of it is to ask questions such as what's this for? How long will I take it and how about side effects. If the doctor doesn't give satisfactory answers then you need to find another doctor.
^hank you for this information. I'll continue to stay on my 75mgs of aspiring due to my angioplasty years ago.
Im taking aspirin after my stent too.
