General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Hello, my name is Dr Olgeta Xhufka. I understand your concern. There are no side effects of taking aspirine daily. It is recommended for everyone over 40 to take half aspirine tablet daily to prevent blood clothing. The sudden rise in BP in doctors room is due to the stress and is called whitecoat syndrome. Nothing is to worry. Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
