Hi all. I haven't posted in a while. The demands/desires of life have been keeping me very busy. I'm 14 weeks post-op now and doing well overall.
For those of you who have tissue valves, I was wondering how much aspirin you are taking. I have been taking 81 mg of coated aspirin twice a day. I take two pills because I understand that the coating causes you to absorb less medicine than an uncoated pill. I'm thinking of switching to one 81 mg pill of chewable baby aspirin a day. My concern is that the aspirin is causing the ringing in my ears to be worse (I have hearing loss and tinnitis) and that dropping back to 81 mg. might help with that problem.
I'm just curious to know what amount of aspirin your doctors have told you is adequate protection against clots. As always, thanks for your feedback.
