I recently got over Covid, testing negative on May 5th, 2021. Now, I've started experiencing some post-Covid symptoms like shortness of breath and a faster heartbeat. I had a Lipid Profile test done, and it turns out my cholesterol levels are high. I'm feeling a bit better now, but my doctor suggested I take some meds like Anleo DSR, Korandil 5, Montek AB, Vitoxy Plus, and Rozavel A for a month. Is it safe for me to get the Covid vaccine while I'm still on these medications?

View allI'm really concerned about this left chest pain I've been experiencing for the past 10 days. It's mostly just a feeling of heaviness in my chest, and I'm finding it really difficult to breathe properly. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Hi. It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related pain. Please take one tablet with a glass of water.

I'm kind of worried about stopping Aspirin because I've been dealing with some stomach issues, and the doctor told me it might be gastritis. They said I should stop taking Aspirin and just stick with clopidogrel. I'm also a bit concerned because my platelet count came back at 110,000. Should I be thinking about a lower dose of Aspirin, like 50 or 25 mg, instead of stopping it altogether? Does that sound safer for someone with my heart condition?
Given your medical history and current condition, it is important to follow your doctor's advice to discontinue Aspirin and continue with Clopidogrel only. Aspirin is known to increase the risk of gastrointestinal issues, such as gastritis, which you experienced recently. Clopidogrel is a suitable alternative antiplatelet medication that can be used in place of Aspirin to prevent blood clots after procedures like PTCA. It is effective in reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Therefore, it is safe to discontinue Aspirin and rely on Clopidogrel for your cardiac health. It is not recommended to switch to a lower dose of Aspirin in your case.
