how can 81 mg of aspirin help with angina
i had problems with shortness and chest pains and i went to the hospital and they gave me some 81mg aspirin?
Aspirin would be to help prevent any blood clotting that can result in a heart attack. Aspirin helps reduce some types of pain, but the appropriate medication (if angina caused by a heart condition) would by a nitrate. A nitrate would dilate heart vessels enabling the heart to receive moe oxygenated blood. Angina (chest pain) is often due to a deficit of blood to the heart tissues.
