My wife constantly nags me about carrying baby aspirin pills because of it's benefits. It is causing strain on our relationship because she constantly worries and can't relax unless I bring around these pills. I think it is a pain to carry around pills. My question is does baby aspirin really work?
Quit being a whiner and carry the stupid pills. Do you even care about your own health? Or your wife?

You would think whatever annoyance it causes would be superseded by the fact that it could... you know... save your life.
I've never heard of carrying it, though. When I had my cardiac "event" 2 or 3 years ago the cardiologist (actually my allergist told me to do it first) just told me to take one in the evening, nothing about carrying them.

Aspirin has been shown to prevent significant morbidity/mortality from strokes and heart attacks. However, it is not 100% effective b/c people will still have heart attacks and strokes while taking aspirin. It happens every day. That being said, much of this depends on your risk profile, such as your gender, age, lifestyle (alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs), and other health conditions (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hiv, diabetes (or other immunocompromised states).
