Is taking aspirin an effective treatment for high blood pressure????

Aspirin does not treat blood pressure at all. high blood pressure is a risk factor for heart disease. aspirin is a treatment for ischemic heart disease.

Taking aspirin before bedtime - but not at other times of the day - may help lower blood pressure in patients with mild hypertension. According to researchers, it seems that people who take aspirin first thing in the morning get virtually no blood pressure benefit from the drug. Before starting to take any type of aspirin, please talk to your doctor about this. This should not be a substitute though for regular high blood pressure medications.

Absolutely not. Go to Web MD and look it up. Aspirin is only good for thinning the blood and helping pain and swelling, helps to prevent clots from forming. Has nothing to do with B/P.
Not really -- but that does not mean it is without cardiovascular benefits.

If you have hypertension, consult with your doctor. Depending on the readings, the doctor may start with diet/exercise or may they presecribe medications. Most cardiologists now tend to use diuretics for most patients as they tend to be safe, effective and inexpensive. That may be supplemented with other meds such as ace ihibitors, beta blockers or calcium channel (inhibitors?).

Controlling your hypertension is very important and needs to be done under the active supervision of a MD. You may also be directed to take a low dose of aspirin -- research suggests the lowers the risk of heart attacks.
