Hello Doctor I am 59 yr old male.I had a Stroke problem 5 year back due to which I had started few regular medicines. Few days back,I got a minor Fit attack which was due to high BP . My family doctor has advised me to continue with Ecosprin 150AV,but i feel drowsi, headache and sleepy after having it.So is it advisable to continue this medicine in long run Kindly advise.
Hi Lucy.yes you should continue esprit as it helps in thinning of your blood to prevent similar catastrophe events which u suffered...since you've not told all the medicines which you are taking.so i advice you to get a CT scan brain which might point out to some subdural bleeds.get a brain angiography, EEG study too plus complete cardio pulmonary work out(ECHO chest X-ray ECG) to rule out...the CT scan will also tell any residual clots in the affected area of your brain. Hope u get well soon
