1. Since you are on a blood thinner thus check with the INR [international normalized ratio] to check with your coagulation profile and further necessary management.
2. hair growth [hirsutism] and mouth sores/ulcers due to low blood count mainly agranulocytosis result due to long term use of spironolactone.
PS. since these both symptoms are side effects of the drug and doesn't warrant any emergency or hospital admission thus talk with your doctor regarding other possibilities
