  5. So my mom started taking Razel CV20 in July 2017 after her doctor switched her from Ecosprin. She's diabetic, but her sugar levels have been under control for a few years. The thing is, she's been complaining that sometimes her hands and feet get cold, and she feels weak, although she usually feels better after about 12 days of rest. These symptoms weren't there when she was on Ecosprin. There's no other health issue, and all her tests are normal. But seeing that two of her older brothers passed away from sudden strokes in their mid-60s, I'm worried. Could these symptoms be hiding something serious? Is it safe for her to continue taking Razel CV? She had high blood pressure in the past but it's been normal for the last 4-5 years. With a family history of high blood pressure, diabetes, and strokes, should we be concerned?

Hey there, so my wife had some trouble breathing last Sunday night. We managed to see a doctor by Tuesday, and after doing an ECG, we found out theres this change called ischemia. The doctor said it's not serious and not to worry, and we even did an ...

1. The doctor's assessment that the ischemia shown on the ECG is not serious and normal is reassuring. Ecosprin (Aspirin) is commonly prescribed to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is important to follow the doctor's advice and continue taking the medication as prescribed. 2. As per the current evaluation and prescription of ecosprin, the likelihood of serious issues later should be reduced. However, it is essential to follow up with regular check-ups and adhere to any further recommendations from the doctor. 3. Ischemia can be a temporary or chronic condition depending on the underlying cause. In this case, since the echo was normal and the doctor reassured that everything is okay, it may not necessarily be a lifetime disease. However, ongoing monitoring and lifestyle modifications may be necessary. 4. The presence of ischemia at the age of 35 without a family history of cardiac issues raises the importance of evaluating other risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity. These factors can contribute to the development of heart conditions at a younger age. 5. Since there is no known cardiac history in the family, it is crucial to focus on lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and attending follow-up appointments with the doctor for monitoring. 6. Precautions that can be taken include following a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress levels, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption,
