Question 1

My dad got his first Covaxin dose today and he stopped taking Ecosprin AV 75 two days ago. I'm wondering if it's okay for him to start taking it again now or if he should wait a couple more days.

Accepted Answer

"Dear SirMam, your father can continue taking Ecosprin AV 75 along with Covaxin. There is no need to stop it for 2-3 more days. The combination is safe and can be continued as prescribed. The usual dosage for Ecosprin AV 75 is one tablet once daily."

Question 2

I've had an angioplasty with a drug-eluting stent placed back in March, and I'm currently on medication. I'm really wondering if it's okay for me to have alcohol socially. I used to enjoy whiskey about twice a week before all of this. Can you give me some advice on whether that's still safe?

Accepted Answer

After angioplasty with a drug-eluting stent, moderate social alcohol consumption is generally allowed, but consult your cardiologist first; if permitted, limit whiskey consumption to 1-2 units (30-60ml) per occasion, 1-2 times a week, and prioritize medications, healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management for optimal heart health.

Question 3

I'm feeling this weird vibration on the right side of my chest every time I think about my phone. It started yesterday morning and seems to happen like every 30 minutes or so. What's strange is that I don't notice it when I'm busy, like cooking, but if I'm just sitting or reading, it really stands out. Could this be something medical, and should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

consult psychiatrist

I'm curious about my pulse after exercising. I did a brisk walk for about 3 kilometers, which took me around 30 minutes, and when I checked my pulse rate right after, it was between 130 and 135. Is this considered normal? My resting pulse usually sits between 70 and 80. Should I be concerned?

A pulse rate of 130-135 after brisk walking is within a normal range, especially considering your resting pulse is 70-80. As long as you do not experience any symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, this pulse rate is considered normal for your level of physical activity.
