Very unlikely because you report immediate relief, and in any case aspirin as far as I know doesn't treat strokes that have already happened.  My guess is chewing the aspirin is a placebo that makes you believe everything is better because nothing was wrong in the first place, but as said above, we can't diagnose you here even if we had the expertise.  Try chewing something less toxic than aspirin -- placebo medicine is the best medicine because there's no side effects!

Most likely no, but obviously, we couldn't tell you one way or another over the internet.  You need to talk to your doctor if you are having symptoms, and please be cautious with the aspirin.  You don't want to overdo that, or else you'll have a whole other set of issues.

Can you give us some background on yourself, and why you would be worried about a stroke?
