I'm kind of worried about stopping Aspirin because I've been dealing with some stomach issues, and the doctor told me it might be gastritis. They said I should stop taking Aspirin and just stick with clopidogrel. I'm also a bit concerned because my platelet count came back at 110,000. Should I be thinking about a lower dose of Aspirin, like 50 or 25 mg, instead of stopping it altogether? Does that sound safer for someone with my heart condition?

Given your medical history and current condition, it is important to follow your doctor's advice to discontinue Aspirin and continue with Clopidogrel only. Aspirin is known to increase the risk of gastrointestinal issues, such as gastritis, which you experienced recently. Clopidogrel is a suitable alternative antiplatelet medication that can be used in place of Aspirin to prevent blood clots after procedures like PTCA. It is effective in reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Therefore, it is safe to discontinue Aspirin and rely on Clopidogrel for your cardiac health. It is not recommended to switch to a lower dose of Aspirin in your case.
