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?

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.

My mother's cholesterol level is really high at 403 mgdL, and her serum triglycerides are at 178 mgdL. What's strange is that she doesn't have any symptoms you'd usually expect with high cholesterol, like chest pain or nausea. Could you take a look at her lipid profile report and let me know what you think? I'm really worried because it doesn't add up.

Since she is not experiencing any symptoms of high cholesterol like chest pain or nausea, she may not require immediate treatment. However, it is important to manage her cholesterol levels to prevent future health issues. I recommend starting her on a statin medication like Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a low dose of 10mg daily. Additionally, she can take Omega-3 fatty acids supplements to help lower triglyceride levels. It is also important for her to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, and engage in regular exercise. Regular monitoring of her lipid profile is essential to track progress.
