View allI'm really worried after reading something about the COVID vaccine increasing the risk of blood clots and heart attacks, especially for people with high hscrp levels. My husband, who's 32, recently had an hsCRP test, and it came out to 1.7mgL. His cholesterol is also 227 with an LDL of 148. Should he think about starting ecosprin 75mg a week before he gets vaccinated and keep taking it for a few weeks after? I'm just trying to make sure we're doing everything we can to avoid any risks related to the vaccine. What do you suggest?
Elevated hs-CRP levels can indeed be a risk factor for blood clots and heart attacks. However, the decision to start taking ecosprin (aspirin) as a preventive measure should be made after consulting with a healthcare professional. In your husband's case, with an hs-CRP level of 1.7mgL, it is not considered very high. The current guidelines do not recommend routine aspirin therapy for primary prevention in individuals with low to moderate cardiovascular risk. It is important to consider the overall cardiovascular risk profile of your husband, including factors such as age, blood pressure, smoking status, and family history of heart disease. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate course of action regarding aspirin therapy before and after covid vaccination.

I'm taking Metocard XL 25, but recently switched to Metocard XL 12.5, and I've noticed a rash on my chest and hand. It's painful. A while back, when I was on Inderal LA, I had a similar rash. My cardiologist thinks it might be a side effect from the medication and suggested I get some tests done. Could I be allergic to both of these beta blockers?
It is possible to have an allergic reaction or side effects from beta blockers, including Metocard XL (metoprolol) and Inderal LA (propranolol), which can manifest as rashes and pain in the affected areas. Since you experienced similar symptoms with both medications, its important to follow your cardiologist's advice and undergo the recommended tests to confirm the cause of the rash. In the meantime, discuss alternative medications or treatment options with your cardiologist to manage your condition without causing allergic reactions.
