Hi,
Casprin is anti-platelet or blood thinner. It is not for blood pressure control. You should discuss with your gynecologist, they would have had started for a reason. If the blood pressure is high for next visit also, then you need to be started on antihypertensive agent which is pregnancy safe.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
