This will probably sound crazy, but I take BC powders like they are going out of style. 4, sometimes 5 a day! This has been going on for probably 20 years. I have lots of headaches and I know that the BC powders are actually causing the headaches. It's habit. I also take 20 mg of Lexapro a day, klonopin almost daily (as needed) and Estratest (hormones). For a couple of weeks now I've noticed that my feet and hands tingle off and on. It's becoming more frequent. And my stomach burns alot, especially when I take a BC. How harmful can BC's be in the long run? Can they do real damage? Has anyone ever experienced any kind of medical problem from taking too much aspirin? I'd appreciate any feedback from anyone with similar experiences. Thanks.

Aspirin causes bleeding in the stomach lining. This is mostly harmless. If taken to excess, and depending on the person, it can be a fairly powerful irritant and might increase the chances of developing ulcers.
Why not try only taking Aspirin when you do get a headache. Do you suffer from Migraine or other Vascular headaches, if so your doctor should be able to prescribe drugs that are specific for those kinds of headaches.
Whatever the case, it's probably a good idea to see your doctor anyway about your frequent headaches.Feel Better,
