My mother was recently found to be covid positive. She has high bp (158|97) and was also diagnosed with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) about 12 yrs back. She takes inderal 10 for the PVT, telmisartan 40 for high bp. For the last 10 days she has been complaining of some pain in the left side of the chest which she thinks might be due to some gas problem. Doc prescribed a couple of medicines and coupled with covid she is taking a lot of medicines now. She takes an antacid in the morning, then after breakfast telmisartan 40, after lunch a PCM, DOX-SL, some multi vitamins and a cough syrup. After dinner she takes the PCM, DOX-SL and the cough syrup again. She hasn't been taking the inderal tablets regularly. She has been facing difficulty in breathing for a while and the chest pain is there as well. Also she coughs from time to time but she can't spit the phlegm out. Are the medicines okay or are they causing the problem? And is vapor enough to get the phlegm out? Kindly help me out.
