Aspirin problem
-
The day following aspirin use, I experience slight nausea & general malaise, like I’m hungover. These symptoms are proportional to the amount of aspirin I use the day prior. I like to use around 500mg before bed and find it powerfully lowers stress and promotes restful sleep, but these symptoms occur a few hours after waking the next day. I’m using store bought aspirin with fillers, starch, talc ect - but I dissolve it in warm water with baking soda and try not to drink the solid particles. Any ideas?

Oh I'm not supposed to try to drink the solid particles... Gotcha

@skylark Try vitamin k2/glycine, do you eat a weekly (beef/chicken/lamb/duck) liver? It could help and is inexpensive compared to k2.
Everybody reacts different to high-dose aspirin, you wake up in a daze, I get hemorrhoids, some people get a blood-shot eye, others get close to nothing.
k2 usually alleviates the symptom if it is related to aspirin.
I also heard glycine helps but I have no experience with that. -
Aspirin lowers blood sugar, and I think this is a reason to avoid taking it without food. I get nausea if my blood sugar falls too low.
Aspirin should be taken with K2 MK4, and also vitamin C.

@dt I haven’t had liver for a while, I’ll see if that makes a difference. I take 6mg mk4 daily, perhaps not enough.
@Ecstatic_Hamster Now you mention it, the day following aspirin I will feel really sleepy after breakfast, which does suggest a blood sugar problem.

@skylark aspirin lowers cortisol quite a lot at bedtime and lowers blood pressure and renin too.

@Ecstatic_Hamster thanks. Would you think it’s worth perusing? If I feel fine without it, but it does improve my sleep at the cost of raising my nutritional requirement?
-
@skylark yes I think it’s worth using, but I would probably have the aspirin after dinner not before bedtime.
