title: Ask the doctor. Almost every day I read how important it is for people with heart disease to take an aspirin. Unfortunately, I am allergic to aspirin. There must be others with the same problem. Are there viable alternatives to aspirin? It's discouraging to realize that I cannot have the benefits available to others.
