I'm really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty in June, and after that, he started having blood clots in his hand and thighs. The doctor thought it might be because of high dosage meds, so they reduced his mg, but now he's also been having blood coming from his mouth quite often. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?

The blood coming from your father's mouth could be due to a side effect of the medications he is taking. One common side effect of blood thinners, which are often prescribed after angioplasty to prevent blood clots, is bleeding. I would recommend consulting with the doctor again to discuss this new symptom. It is important to monitor his medication dosage and ensure it is appropriate for him. Additionally, the doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication to help reduce the risk of bleeding from the mouth.

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort in my heart from time to time, and I recently had an ECG done, which came back with something called "borderline." I'm a bit worried and curious to know if there are any tablets or treatments for heart blockages that I should consider. Could you help explain what "borderline" means and if it's something I should be concerned about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to heart blockages. In such cases, medications like Aspirin and Clopidogrel can be prescribed to help prevent blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, medications like Atorvastatin can be used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Regarding your ECG showing borderline changes, this could indicate potential issues with the heart's electrical activity. It is recommended to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because I just started taking Telma 20mg and today I've been feeling dizzy and really tired. Is that a normal reaction? I checked my blood pressure and it's 14092. What should I do about this?
Starting on Telma (telmisartan) 20mg can sometimes cause side effects like dizziness and fatigue, especially when your body is adjusting to the medication. These symptoms can be more noticeable when standing up quickly or during the initial days of treatment. Your current blood pressure reading of 14092 mmHg indicates that it is still elevated. Its important to monitor your symptoms and blood pressure closely. If the dizziness and fatigue persist or worsen, please contact your healthcare provider to discuss your symptoms and possibly adjust your treatment plan.
