An Underappreciated Risk of an Aspirin a Day. By Neena Abraham, M.D. If your physician has suggested you take aspirin to reduce your risk of heart disease, it is important to remember that even small doses of daily aspirin â including âbaby aspirin,â at a dose of 81 milligrams daily â can increase your risk of ulcers and bleeding.
