For the past few months I have been having chest pain on and off I have started taking daily Bayer asprin and every once in a while I'll have a pain in my arm or leg but it dosen't last long.  Tonight I woke up with stomach ache and mild diarrhea what could this mean?  Thanks

How big is the dose of aspirin you take, 75mg isnthe dose people often take to reduce heart attack and stroke risk, any more and you maybe risking stomach problems. My doctor told me not to take aspirin at all ( even though I worry about my own chest pains) as it's an acid and can cause all kinds of problems with the stomach. I think you should speak to your doctor before taking anything like aspirin regularly, it's best to have a professional opinion.
