1)is it okay to take an aspirin for a hypertensive patient during the heart attack?
2)may taking an aspirin cause a problem for a hypertensive patient during the heart attack?

A cardiologists' publications will comment to take immediately aspirin in the event of a heart attack and chew for faster effects.  It's especially effective if taken within 30 minutes of the onset of symptoms.  Aspirin is an anti-platelet agent that helps prevent blood clots that can be fatal.   Aspirin has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack and reduce the short-term risk of death among people suffering from heart attacks.

There is no evidence that an aspirin is contra-indicated for hypertensive individuals having a heart attack.
