Yes, aspirin is a blood thinner and it is good for older people to be taking aspirin everyday. Because my husand has plaque buiildup in his carotid artery and a clot formation there, traveling to his brain, is likely what caused the stroke symptoms, then he has to take coumadin which is a more powerful blood thinner.
Until they have a better idea of what caused the stroke, aspirin is fine. You might ask if they plan to do a carotid doppler study.
