To counter the effect of potential clots from Astrazeneca, would it help to take aspirin within 2 to 3 days of the vaccine?

Question

The night after I received my flu shot last November, I was awakened suddenly by a tightness in my heart that lasted about 1 minute. I remained very calm, controlling my breathing as much as possible. The event happened again the next night but for a shorter period of time, about 30 seconds. It did not happen again and it had never happened before. I am 74 years old, active, in excellent health and have been getting the flu shot every year for 30-40 years. I take Calcium 500MG + vit D 1000 IU and estradiol 0.5 Die. Thank you. Thank you so much for your response, it is appreciated and reassuring.

Hello, First of all, I would like to point out the relevance of your question! First, I want to reassure you!!! Currently, no causal link has been established between the various Covid-19 vaccines and the occurrence of thrombosis. In other words, getting a vaccine does not appear to increase the risk of thrombosis (or any other thrombotic event). Based on the current data, all of the vaccines available on the Canadian market appear to be safe and effective. At this time, there do not appear to be any studies that support taking aspirin in the days following the vaccine to reduce the risk of developing a blood clot. Thus, I do not recommend that you do so! On the other hand, I understand that the event you experienced last November may have worried you. It is difficult for me to know if it was caused by the vaccine you received or by some other factor. I suggest that you discuss this with your doctor. He or she will probably be able to shed more light on this subject, depending on your health conditions. In the meantime, I invite you to listen to this short audio clip that may be able to tell you more about the risk of thrombosis with the Covid-19 vaccine 🙂 https://m105.ca/audio_excerpt/vaccine-antibody-answers-your-questions/?fbclid=IwAR3IiZLfmuuftfi-1qzDnJgbDWoCeLasPrM4KYoxdraVgzNc6Nu8mtEM6PE Hopefully we have been able to help you, Noémie Maurice, Pharmacy Student, supervised by Alexandre Chagnon, Pharmacist I'm glad if this helped put your mind at ease. 🙂 Thank you for using: Question for a Pharmacist.
