I'm worried about my mom. She recently had a procedure for a blockage in her left hand and she's been prescribed acitrome as a blood thinner. Her periods are really heavy though, and the doctor suggested using sevista to help stop the bleeding temporarily. Can she really take sevista with acitrome? I'm a bit anxious about mixing the two medications. What should we watch out for?

I'm 80 and recently started having chest pain, so I went to the hospital. The doctor had me take a blood test, and it turns out I have polycythemia vera. They've been taking my blood twice a week to keep it thin, but now I'm feeling really exhausted, and it's hard to manage. Can you suggest what I should do?

I'm a bit worried because my recent blood test showed eosinophils at 13.7, which I understand is referred to as eosinophilia. Is this something serious? What steps should I take, and are there any particular precautions I should be aware of?

I've noticed that my body temperature rises in the evening for an hour or so, then goes back to normal. It's not really a fever, just higher than it should be. I recently found out I have Microcytic anemia. Could there be a connection between the two? I could really use some guidance.

Elevated body temperature in the evening could be related to your Microcytic anemia. It is known that anemia can sometimes lead to a low-grade fever or increased body temperature. I recommend taking a fever reducer like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed to help with the elevated temperature. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
