Can aspirin save you?

MY mom tells me she had a heart attack yesterday and when it started took 4 baby aspirin and a nitroglycerin tablet. She takes one baby aspirin everyday. she has had angina for 40 years, very fat and an awful diet. I have tried to get her to reduce all the time but being heavy runs in our family. After I lost all my weight I was hope she would see by example. Ok so she tells me that she had a terrible arthritic attack and has been taking codine and went on a eating binge yesterday with nothing but sugar treats.

So my question to her if aspirin is so great why did you have an attack. So is aspirin good to take everyday and if not what could she take. Tweet
