I have heard about people taking low dose (81 mg?) aspirin as a blood thinner for heart disease, but I had never heard it used for COPD, which my understanding is a breathing/lung disease. My question was is emphysema different from COPD in some way?
I know people stay on low dose aspirin long-term for heart disease, but I was just wondering if maybe once the pain/irritation is lowered (say 10 days) that the aspirin is more detrimental than positive to your health? I was thinking that possibly it is causing stomach or bowel irritation and not helping a whole lot with the lung issue.
Just thinking out loud, not offering medical advice, you crusty old cantankerous fucker! LOL
Walter I train as hard as I can,on a bad day,I lighten the load and take less rest so my training is always decent.......never a really bad workout just some that are better than others like most of us have.
Back in the day I would jump over benches and run from station to station doing Giant-Sets and shit,I trained my guts out.....well the COPD has slowed that down but I keep mov ing.
Here`s the reason I take an aspirin......though I can train with just minor breathing problems,if I had to carry two 30 pound dumbells or two full trash cans up my driveway......it feels like I`m gonna` have a heart attack.....no shit, so why risk one especially after being a dimwit and smoking most of my life?
For all the critics,I`m not looking for sympathy it was all self induced and I only blame myself.......fuck sympathy,so far I`m still standing.
