When I was a smoker, I got this heart palpitations if I smoked a lot and drank a lot of coffee as well.
So the doctor told me to quit, which I did.
Then I read somewhere that aspirin can help prevent a heart attack, so I thought that I can just as well take aspirin each day and so help my heart to stay healthy.
I then went to the shops and bought a box of tablets that contain aspirin and popped two each morning.
One tablet contains 500mg of aspirin, so I popped 1000mg aspirin each morning.
My stomach started to ache and I got a strange pain in my chest, and I went to see the doctor.
After some tests and swallowing a camera I learnt I managed to get a bleeding stomach and food pipe.
It is not very serious, and after giving me some meds to help, the doc told me in no uncertain terms that I should never ever again start my own kind of aspirin therapy.
