Yes, aspirin raises blood pressure if taken in the morning.

A study in Spain gave the following results (source page at the Related Links):

One group wasn't given any aspirin (169 people). A second group took 100 milligrams of aspirin every morning (77 people). A third group took the same dose of aspirin at night (82 people).

All patients wore devices that monitored their blood pressure around the clock. Blood pressure readings were automatically recorded every 20 minutes during the day and every half hour at night.

Study's ResultsAfter three months, these were the results:
  • Aspirin at night: Significant drop in blood pressure
  • Aspirin in the morning: Slightly higher blood pressure
  • No aspirin: Slightly lower blood pressure

The biggest blood pressure change was in the patients who took aspirin at night, the study shows.

How much did their blood pressure drop?

  • Systolic blood pressure (the top number): down 6.8
  • Diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number): down 1.6
