Q: If I take 2 aspirin for a headache, I get a stomach ache and I feel like I need to throw up, but never do. Is there any explanation for this?
A: Aspirin is very hard on the stomach and causes a lot of people to get upset stomachs. It can cause ulcers and make your stomach bleed. It does something to suppress the production of protective coating in your stomach so the acid is right on your stomach lining. Try Tylenol instead of aspirin.
