Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The drug helps… blood pressure, arrhythmia, some cases of failure and so on…
You are on minimum dose now…
Proper advice needs physical examination, and investigations to correlate
The treating doctor can suggest and tailor further based on his assessment of the situation.
Clot can be detected by ECHOcardiogram / Doppler – depending on its location…
Good luck
Take care
Wishing all well
God bless
