I'm wondering if it's okay to stop taking ecospirin 75 after recovering from COVID. Is there a recommended time to keep taking it if I only had mild symptoms? And what happens if I stop using it after a month? Could there be any side effects from stopping it so soon?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Ecospirin 75 is a brand name for aspirin. Aspirin is often prescribed post-Covid recovery to prevent blood clots. The duration for taking aspirin post-Covid recovery varies depending on individual risk factors and the severity of the illness. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations regarding the duration of aspirin therapy. Stopping aspirin abruptly after 1 month of Covid recovery may increase the risk of blood clots, especially if you were prescribed aspirin for this purpose. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before discontinuing any medication, including aspirin, to avoid any potential side effects or complications.

I've been dealing with some concerns about my blood pressure. I'm a 17-year-old guy, in pretty good shape with a BMI of 24.7, and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are often around 14060 or 13060. When I'm calm, the systolic number goes down to about 125, but the diastolic stays below 70, which I find unsettling. I do experience a bounding pulse in different areas of my body which adds to the stress. I've had health anxiety since the lockdown began, and I've been using homeopathy which has helped, and I'm also trying to keep my diet in check and exercise regularly. What's bugging me is why my diastolic number doesn't return to a typical range even when I'm managing everything else pretty well? When people talk about high blood pressure, I usually hear both systolic and diastolic numbers rise together, but mine seems to have one high and the other low. Could this be more than just anxiety, or is there something unique about my situation?
1. Your diastolic blood pressure not returning to normal despite your efforts could be due to a combination of factors, including anxiety and possibly other underlying health conditions. It's great that you are managing your anxiety with homeopathy, but it's essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, you can consider starting with a low dose of a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine 2.5mg to help lower your diastolic blood pressure. 2. The fluctuation in your blood pressure readings, with systolic going up and diastolic going down, can be attributed to various factors such as stress, anxiety, and even the time of day when you measure your blood pressure. It's not uncommon for individuals to experience variations in their blood pressure readings, especially in response to different stimuli. However, persistent high diastolic blood pressure warrants attention and monitoring. 3. While anxiety may be a significant contributing factor to your elevated blood pressure readings, it's essential to rule out any other underlying medical conditions that could be impacting your diastolic blood pressure. Considering your age and overall fitness level, it's crucial to continue with your healthy lifestyle habits, including regular exercise and a balanced diet. Additionally, incorporating stress-reducing activities such as mindfulness or yoga may further help in managing your anxiety and potentially improving your blood pressure levels. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider will be beneficial in monitoring your blood pressure and adjusting your treatment plan as needed.

I'm looking at my 2D echo report and I'm a bit worried about my heart health. It says my mean PAP is 23.18 and PASP is 38mm Hg. There's also something about a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6, and it's noted as mild tricuspid regurgitation. The report mentions my ejection fraction is 60 and that I have good systolic function, with no diastolic dysfunction. I'm just wondering if there's a risk of pulmonary hypertension with these numbers?
Based on your 2D echo report, with a mean PAP of 23.18 and PASP of 38mm Hg, along with a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6 and mild tricuspid regurgitation, it indicates that there is a possibility of pulmonary hypertension. However, further evaluation and monitoring by a healthcare professional are recommended to determine the severity and appropriate treatment.
