Question: How does using Aspirin as a blood thinner temporarily alleviate/deteriorate trumpet playing ability!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
good question!.!.!.!.
Many musicians use beta blockers when they perform!. Using a beta blocker is similar to taking aspirin because doctors prescribe both to prevent heart attacks!. Both of these drugs lower how hard the heart has to work therefore lowering hear rate potentially causing your body to relax a little!.
Beta blockers however do shut down some parts of the body and are especially helpful during performing if you shake or sweat!.
I have no problems playing on a beta blocker!.!. in fact it is much easier!.
also being a violinist I take aspirin regularly because of my constant shoulder pain which it alleviates and also helps me play better!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I could assume that because the blood is thinner, while flowing more freely, has less red blood cells which supply energy and nutrients to your muscles!. I'm not a doctor, but I think that with thinner blood your chops may just not be getting enough energy from your blood!. Just a thoughtWww@QuestionHome@Com
