[1] [4] Complications can include swelling of the brain or lungs, seizures, low blood sugar, or cardiac arrest. [1] While usually due to aspirin, other possible causes include oil of wintergreen and bismuth subsalicylate. [2] Excess doses can be either on purpose or accidental. [1] Small amounts of oil of wintergreen can be toxic. [2]

[1] [2] Patients observe these symptoms and seek medical advice from healthcare professionals. Because most people are not diagnostically trained or knowledgeable, they typically describe their symptoms in layman's terms, rather than using specific medical terminology. This list is not exhaustive.
Aspirin helps prevent blood clots from forming, which is the leading cause of heart attack and stroke, but the drug also carries a risk of bleeding. That risk can outweigh aspirin’s benefits in ...
Most bruises occur close enough to the epidermis such that the bleeding causes a visible discoloration. The bruise then remains visible until the blood is either absorbed by tissues or cleared by immune system action. Bruises which do not blanch under pressure can involve capillaries at the level of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, or bone ...
The prototype for these drugs is aspirin, which inhibits the production of thromboxane. NSAIDs (for example Ibuprofen) inhibit the activation of platelets, and thereby increase the risk of bleeding. The effect of aspirin is irreversible; therefore, the inhibitory effect of aspirin is present until the platelets have been replaced (about ten days).
For a small number of people, taking aspirin can result in symptoms including hives, swelling, and headache. [206] Aspirin can exacerbate symptoms among those with chronic hives, or create acute symptoms of hives. [207] These responses can be due to allergic reactions to aspirin, or more often due to its effect of inhibiting the COX-1 enzyme.
Aspirin is non-selective and irreversibly inhibits both forms [4] (but is weakly more selective for COX-1 [5]). It does so by acetylating the hydroxyl of a serine residue at the 530 amino acid position. [6] Normally COX produces prostaglandins, most of which are pro-inflammatory, and thromboxanes, which promote clotting.
