[|Human|] I want to know if it is bad to take aspirin with a heart murmur. My husband who is 46 years old was born with a heart murmur and he started taking aspirin about a year ago for blood clots/vericous veins in his legs to make them shrink per advice from a doctor at our local low-cost healthcare center. The doctor who examined him said that if we had health insurance that he could do a lazer procedure on his legs but we dont so the doctor recommended to him take a regular aspirin everyday to make the blood clots shrink. However, this has not worked and for the last two weeks his heart has been beating much faster then normal. Before he started taking aspirin he did not have this problem. Please give me an answer to what we should do and if my thinking is right that the aspirin has done more harm then good.
[|AI|]  Hi, aspirin is good for heart if taken appropriately.in your case it seems right as your husband seems suffering from incompetent veins. So aspirin will in turn help. The palpitations and other complains as told by you may be related to other things in heart. The local doctor has done appropriate treatment at his level. But I suggest you show a cardiologist or an interventional Radiologist who are expertise in it. Sometimes a clot released from those veins can cause a blockage of arteries of heart, so you need to take appropriate action regarding the same.
