I've been dealing with a dry cough after starting Cardace 2.5 mg following a heart attack last month. I'm also on Brillinta, Concor, and Ecospirin. Is this cough something I should be worried about, or should I think about stopping Cardace?

I'm a bit concerned about my medication. I had an ASD closure with a device on October 3rd, 2020, and I've been taking aspirin 75 and clopidogrel 75 every afternoon since then. Is there any issue with continuing these meds? Can I stop them? I just recovered from COVID on May 18th and have my echo report with me. Should I be aware of anything specific?

Having an ASD (atrial septal defect) device closure and taking aspirin 75 mg and clopidogrel 75 mg are standard protocols to prevent blood clots. It is crucial to continue these medications unless advised otherwise by your cardiologist. Stopping them abruptly could increase the risk of clot formation around the device. Given that you have recently recovered from COVID-19, it's even more important to follow your prescribed medication regimen as COVID-19 can increase clotting risks. Please consult your cardiologist before making any changes to your medications. They can provide individualized advice based on your current health status and recent recovery.
