Hello!
Viagra and aspirin do not have any known drug interactions. But you should still be careful when you take them together. Sildenafil and nitrates excessively lower blood pressure when used together. It can be really dangerous to take them together. Stopping nitrocontin can put at risk concerning your heart problems. Viagra is helpful for men with erectile dysfunction. If you do not have that problem why are you thinking of starting it? Considering your heart problems and the side effects caused by Viagra it is advisable to consult your doctor before starting any new medication. I do hope it helps.
Best of luck!
