like this one from Mayo Clinic:

Side effects and complications of daily aspirin therapy include:

-- Stroke caused by a burst blood vessel — While daily aspirin can help prevent a clot-related stroke, it increases the risk of a bleeding stroke. A bleeding stroke also is called a hemorrhagic stroke.

-- Gastrointestinal bleeding — Daily aspirin use increases the risk of bleeding in the stomach or intestinal wall. If you already have a stomach ulcer, have liver disease or use other blood-thinning medications, taking aspirin may cause more bleeding. The bleeding may be life-threatening.

If you’re taking aspirin and you need surgery, be sure to let your care team know. They may need to take steps to prevent excessive bleeding. Don’t stop taking aspirin without talking to your team about when to stop and when to restart.
