Yes, a nice question !! Aspirin which you are taking for headache is 300mg. For heart patient this drug has got a amazing results, but these are low dose aspirin ie. to say 75mg . only once a day usually, but the dose varies !! Your Grand Father will be OK soon. Wishing his earlier recovery !!

Yes, Aspirin is proved drug for preventing heart attacks (myocardial infarction). IT is also used for headache. But the dose varies.

So please continue taking aspirin without second thought.

Aspirin is given to prevent clotting of blood, they act as blood thinner. This will reduce the block of vessels and increase the circulation. But it causes severe gastritis and needs to be taken after food

My grandfather used to tell me to put aspirin tablet in the glass of water before breakfast and drink the water after the breakfast, I thought it was silly. But it really works in preventing heart attacks when my father asked his doctor
