Can I take aspirin with my blood pressure medication?

Aspirin can be taken along with antihypertensive drugs. Aspirin is recommended for people with hypertension combined with several other cardiovascular risk factors, or for patients with hypertension combined with clinical complications. Aspirin is an antiplatelet drug, and its use can reduce myocardial infarction by 1/3 and stroke by 1/10, so aspirin is the basic treatment for patients with hypertension combined with other risk factors. However, it should be noted that aspirin needs to be started when blood pressure is stable and controlled, preferably less than 180/100 mm Hg. If blood pressure is not under control or fluctuates particularly widely, aspirin may increase the risk of cerebral hemorrhage. In addition, before taking aspirin, you should have a risk factor assessment for gastrointestinal bleeding to see if you have had a previous ulcerative gastrointestinal condition. If there is a previous history of such a condition or if you are over 65 years old and also use hormonal medications or take anticoagulants, precautions should be taken in such cases, which means taking aspirin along with acid-suppressing medications, so that the risk of bleeding can be minimized.
