My mom takes an aspirin daily as directed by her doctor. I noticed she gets bruises more often and they last longer, also she seems to be cold even when the weather is warm. Can this be caused by the aspirin ?

I don't know about the cold, but I believe it will make you bruise more easily, and bleed more if you get cut. One baby aspirin a day will give me nosebleeds, so I take one every other day.

One of the reasons for taking 81mg of Aspirin a day is to reduce the risk of clots. This can help reduce risks of heart or brain attacks. Here is a site that discusses Aspirin: Benefits & Risks.
