Aspirin lowers blood pressure

I tried it for a while because I have a family history of strokes and heart attacks. I felt it actually made my CFS worse because I have chronic low blood pressure. I don't think it is good for dysautonomia either

They seem to have made a u turn on aspirin saying it is not good to take everyday unless you have had a heart attack.
I think there's different processes going on that lead to CFS. It almost literally changes me from being bedbound to being up and about within an hour. So I'd be very careful about making absolute s.
As for medical literature changing. When does it not. It might be changed back in a year's time. We are a typicals anyway so we have to try things that others wouldn't .
Interestingly, my stepfather has just had a suspected mild heart attack.
They've put him on high dose bloody thinners. Lots of different kinds. He has a severely degenerated spine. It's prolapsed and basically leaves him in agony. After the heart event, these blood thinners seem to have cured or at least put into remission his pain. This to me is incredible as he has previously been on oral morphine which just made his pain worse.
When this first happened, I asked the nurse and she said the only thing we've changed is increased his blood thinners. Sometimes the increase in circulation alleviates pressures on the spine.
I'm not sure how qualified she is to make that statement. But we're weeks out from the heart event. He sleeps ( after years of insomnia) and still has no back pain.
Also, in long covid, they are using heparin aren't they to see if it helps relieve microclotting.
If you have low blood pressure, I can see how this may be a problem, but it's interesting to me that aspirin may have many different modes of action other than just thinning the blood.
I'm gonna cycle it. I don't want to habituate to it but it just brought me out if one of my worst crashes in ages within an hour.
Obviously it's not curative but it's a treatment that I find really helps.
I'm sorry for you it's not the case tho.
But as I say, we are all different. I just post this in the hope it can help someone else.
Obviously the stomach issues etc and risks that come along with it have to be factored in but my Bp and adrenaline go through the roof when I crash..Bp meds do nothing.it feels like my blood gets sticky and is not oxygenated. Then bam, an aspirin or two later and I feel like my blood is cleaner.
I've had cardiac imaging n there's no disease in terms of plaque.
The aspirin also lessens my migraines and orthastic intolerance and pots.
Obviously anyone with bleeding disorders check, but I just wanted to report my positive experience with this. I know we're all different but this is almost a real life saver for me
