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.

View allI'm dealing with high cholesterol and recently I've felt some pain in my left chest. I'm pretty worried about what this might mean. Should I be doing something specific or is there anything you recommend I look into?
It is important to manage your high cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart-related issues. You can start by taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, if you are experiencing chest pain, you can take Aspirin at a dosage of 81mg daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. However, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe or persistent chest pain.

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 53 and just had a CABG bypass surgery. I noticed his platelet count shot up quite a bit, like it was 3.9 lakhs before surgery and now it's 9.3 lakhs, and Im concerned about whether thats normal after surgery. There wasn't any blood transfusion done. Can someone shed some light on what might be happening here?
It is not uncommon for platelet counts to be elevated after surgery, including coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This condition, known as postoperative thrombocytosis, typically occurs as a response to surgery and the body's healing process. However, a significant increase such as from 3.9 lakhs to 9.3 lakhs should be monitored closely by his healthcare team to rule out any complications. I recommend discussing this with your father's cardiologist or primary care physician to ensure proper follow-up and management.
