Someone is telling me to take aspirin whenever I get tensed or my chest starts paining? Can you tell me what are the different situation when aspirin can be taken? Does this mean that without consulting doctors or medical practitioner we can go ahead and take it? What is the basis for the prescribing information, as I want to tell that person not to suggest such critical medicines without any prior knowledge or experience.
