I am at the age of 60+ and suffering from Diabetes and recently I consulted my doctors and after a close examination he came to conclusion that my bloods are more viscous and hence requiring more effort on my heart to pump blood. please advise medicines to lower the viscosity of my blood and recommend Diet & Physical Exercise plan for me.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, High viscosity of blood is controlled by anti-coagulants. Anti-coagulants reduce the viscosity of blood and prevent the formation of clots in blood. Clotting of blood is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. You need to consult your cardiologist for clinical assessment and thus management. Anti-coagulant therapy has to be monitored by coagulation tests-PT/INR. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
