If you have high blood pressure you should only take aspirin if you have an increased risk of a heart attack or stroke and only when your blood pressure is well controlled.  You should talk to your doctor before starting aspirin. The reason for this is that aspirin affects the way your blood clots and is therefore more likely to cause bleeding from the stomach and intestines.  Aspirin may also be linked to an increased risk of strokes from bleeding directly into the brain. You should not take aspirin yourself regularly unless your doctor has said that it is right for you to take it. <a href="http://www.bloodpressureuk.org/BloodPressureandyou/FAQs/Medicinesforhighbloodpressure" target="_blank">http://www.bloodpressureuk.org/BloodPressureandyou/FAQs/Medicinesforhighbloodpressure</a></blockquote>
