Is taking 3,000mg of Aspirin every day for a month safe?!


Question: Is taking 3,000mg of Aspirin every day for a month safe?
I get headaches in my temples every day and have not seen a doctor. I usually take around 6 aspirin (each tablet is 500mg) tables a day to try and relieve my headaches they just get that bad.
What are the pros and cons of doing this? What are the long term medical problems that could come up and should I stop taking aspirin like this?

Answers:

Increased Sudden Death
Aspirin for prevention of heart attacks was first touted after the landmark Physicians Health Study found that aspirin decreased the heart attack rate in asymptomatic physicians during a five-year period. That sounds like good news until you realize that overall mortality (death) was not decreased and sudden death was increased. Oops. Sudden death is not a desirable side effect.

The British did a similar study in 1988, which also found no reduction in mortality. After the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force reviewed this and other data, they modified their guidelines and noted that no added benefit, only added risk, has been documented in doses of aspirin greater than 75 mg per day.

Answer is no.
