<human>: Hello Doctor I am 59 yr old male.I had a Stroke problem 5 year back due to which I had started few regular medicines. Few days back,I got a minor Fit attack which was due to high BP . My family doctor has advised me to continue with Ecosprin 150AV,but i feel drowsi, headache and sleepy after having it.So is it advisable to continue this medicine in long run Kindly advise.
<bot>: Hi Lucy.yes you should continue esprit as it helps in thinning of your blood to prevent similar catastrophe events which u suffered...since you've not told all the medicines which you are taking.so i advice you to get a CT scan brain which might point out to some subdural bleeds.get a brain angiography, EEG study too plus complete cardio pulmonary work out(ECHO chest X-ray ECG) to rule out...the CT scan will also tell any residual clots in the affected area of your brain. Hope u get well soon
