Small thrombus in distal right pulmonary
The CT Scan Pulmonary Angio reads "small thrombus in distal right pulmonary artery at its bifurcation as described above minimally comprising the lumen". My question is should i start taking Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) as prescribed by the doctor or should ask doctor to prescribe more safe drug considering the side effect profile of the drug?

Postular Hypotension in a Cardiac Patien
I am 86 years old and he is fit.
I get occasional Angina pain. I have been advised to take Imdur (isosorbide mononitrate) 30mg daily. This leads to lowered blood pressure when i stand up, get up from the bed etc which leads to dizziness etc
Should we stop Imdur (isosorbide mononitrate)

Pain in Left Chest ( Left side)
Hi,
I had pain in my left chest (left side) last week. After that I consulted with doctor and did ECG and TMT. After seeing the report doctor suggested that I dont have any heart problem and reason for the pain can be due to gastric. So doctor prescribed some gastric medicines. Right now I am feeling fine.
But I had some doubts so I did blood tests. Below are the major findings from the blood test. I have also attached the blood report.
1. HIGH SENSITIVITY C-REACTIVE PROTEIN (hs-CRP) is very high (4.62)
2. CHOLESTEROL is high
3. SGPT (113.7) , SGOT (56.7) and GGT (91.9) is high
4. TESTOSTERONE is very Low : (241.5)
5. 25-OH VITAMIN D (TOTAL) is very low. : (16.29)
Currently I am confused what to do next. Whom should I consult with. Please give your suggestions.
