I'm not sure if this is the right place, but it's about the medication adult low dose chewable aspirin (81mg). I asked another question here before about
bad circulation, and that's what led to me taking this. I had more problems yesterday afternoon so I finally took one of the aspirin my mom bought me. It says: take 4-8 tablets every four hours with a full glass of water. I took 3 tablets in 12 hours, and about 3 hours after the third one I noticed some bleeding. I saw on the box that it could cause that, but I obviously didn't think I'd have any side effects since I haven't had any allergic reactions to anything before, when I went to the doctor to discuss my hand problems I told her I crushed a low dose aspirin my aunt gave me and she said that was a good idea, and my mom was pressuring me to take another.
The box says to stop use and contact a doctor if if there's any bleeding or you vomit blood because it's a sign of stomach bleeding, but does that mean make an appointment, or get yourself to an emergency room? I'm a teen (though a slightly older one) by myself right now, and can't get in contact with any family members until 8 or so (it's 3 AM right now). The bleeding isn't heavy, but I don't know how much would be expected, and I'm not the sort of person to vomit even when I'm sick. I tried spitting, and the first few times there was some blood, but tiny pin prick spots, and not even half the times I did it but I don't know what that's worth. The last couple of times there was more, but still not what I'd call a lot.
I don't know if there are any other side effects because I did have some ringing in my ears briefly, but that happens to me occasionally, and I'm very nervous right now so I'm a little dizzy, but I'm dizzy sometimes anyway.
I really don't know what to do. Is this something to be very concerned about? It's been about 15 hours since I took the first pill, 14 since the second, and 3-3 1/2 hours since the last one. Will the aspirin be out of my system soon? Will my stomach stop bleeding on it's own, and quickly? Is this something I need to go to the emergency room over, and as soon as possible or it's okay to wait until morning? I don't want to wake my elderly aunt up at 3 in the morning and try to find someone to take me to the hospital which we can't afford over nothing. Please, does anyone have any advice?
