Question 1

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?

Question 2

My arm's been hurting since I got blood drawn three times for some tests on January 25th. There's a bit of redness on my skin too. It seemed to be getting better, but I played squash today, and now the pain's back. Can you suggest what I should do?

Accepted Answer

It seems like your arm might be experiencing irritation or inflammation from the multiple blood draws. I recommend applying a cold compress to reduce swelling and taking over-the-counter pain relief, such as ibuprofen, to alleviate discomfort. If the redness or pain worsens, or if you notice swelling, it would be best to consult your doctor for further evaluation.

Question 3

I've just had a full body checkup, and it turns out I'm right on the border with iron deficiency. When I checked online for solutions, I read that taking iron tablets, like those multivitamin ones, might not be the best idea. I'm a bit confused and worried about what's the best way to address this. Could you suggest some alternative treatments or advice on improving my iron levels naturally?
