Good evening Doctor. My dad is 71 years old and he has had two mini strokes in two months. He has very sticky blood . He is currently taking 80mg of Aspirin , 50 mg Losartan, and 20 mg of Simvastatin (Generic). He complains of pressure on both ears and his head feel like its full of water. he likewsie experiences tight and chest pain , and weakness to his lower extremities. Sometimes his lower legs are swollen. Does increasing the dosage of his medication helps. We are from the Philippines and very poor. We need your advise urgently. Thank you. Jennifer
Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
His symptoms are likely to be related to a cardiac disorder. Only increasing the drug dosages will not help him. He needs a detailed evaluation from a physiscian for his symptoms for proper treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
