I've been dealing with this nose bleeding issue for years, but after I started taking clopilet, it just seemed to get worse. At first, I was on the 150mg dose with my other meds like ecospirin, but when the bleeding got out of hand, I reduced to 75mg, and still no improvement. I even saw an ENT specialist who gave me a calcium supplement for a bit, but I'm still bleeding. Could the clopilet be causing this, and what else can I do to manage it? I'm kind of stuck here and really need some advice.

The nose bleeding may be due to the antiplatelet medication Clopilet. Since the bleeding continued even after reducing the dosage, it is important to address this issue. I would recommend discussing with your doctor about switching to an alternative antiplatelet medication such as Brilinta (Ticagrelor) or Plavix (Clopidogrel) to see if the nose bleeding improves. Additionally, continue taking Ecospirin as prescribed. If the bleeding persists, further evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the nose bleeds.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He recently visited a doctor who suggested some blood tests along with ECG and TMT. Thankfully, all his blood parameters, including cholesterol, TG, and lipid levels, are within the normal range. But during the TMT, he experienced very mild chest pain, and the doctor marked it as TMT positive for RMI. I'm really concerned about what this means. Should we be considering angiography and maybe even angioplasty for him?

Can a TMT test really detect heart blockages? Like, if my TMT test comes back negative, should I be concerned about blockages not being detected? Also, what if I have a blockage that's, say, around 10%would the TMT still show positive in that case? I'm just trying to understand how reliable the TMT is for these things.
If your TMT is negative, but you're still concerned about potential blockages or symptoms, its essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more specific tests (like angiography) based on your risk factors and clinical symptoms.

I've been on Metocard XL 50 for a few months now to manage my hypertension, but lately, my heart rate has been dropping to around 50-52. Could this be because of the Metocard XL 50?
