Thrown up after Aspirin! Help!?

[brunettebimbo]

What a bloody nightmare! I've always been told that my aspirin is the most important thing I take. I took it tonight then 10 minutes later threw up. I rang the gynae unit who said I needed to speak to my out of hours Doctor because he would have my notes and that I could get the number by ringing my Doctors. I rang and the number was 111! I rang them and explained. I got asked a load of silly questions, all I need is a yes or no, do I take it again!? They will call me back within 6 hours! I've rang both my midwifes and got the answer machine. So yeh I'm kind of freaking out. I don't know what to do! 6 hours takes me into the early hours of tomorrow and that will be too late to take it again

Why are you on aspirin? And is it just 75mg? If it is, personally I'd take another one, if it's a higher dose I wouldn't. (I take 75mg aspirin daily and have taken a second when I've been sick just after taking it - I figure a single 'normal' aspirin tablet that people take up to 3 of for headaches is 300mg so a potential dose of 150mg isn't a problem)

Yes it's 75mg. I take it because I have antiphospholipid syndrome so it's really important. My out of hours Doctor just called back. I have to take it again.

I'm really pleased you got a call back so quickly. I find it amazing that such an old, common medicine as aspirin has such varied and important uses - know it's the most important thing I take (and not just in pregnancy)

Glad you heard back. I would have said take it again as well, in 10 minutes the pill probably hasn't even dissolved yet let alone made it out of your stomach.
