Dear doctor
my mother has just recovered from covid.
Due to elevated d dimer value 1100 doctor advised to take aspirin 75 for 10 days.
But BP of my mother is 110/55 now.
Should she take the blood thinner like aspirin?

Aspirin should be taken. It has nothing to do with BP.

Continue ecosprin as advised. It won't harm in low blood pressure. However 110/55 mmHg BP is not considered low.
Her D dimer is high.
Get D dimer repeated after 10 days
and review with report
