My mom age 72, went to the Dr. and is now put on blood thinners and she is freaking out..Like " should I really take them or not".
She already been taking blood pressure and beta blockers. Has never had stroke/heart issues. Her BP was a bit high lately and her EKG a bit off, but the heart scan was good. She wants " more proof" and wants to now go to a Cariodologist. it wil take her a while before she gets an appointment.
I know I shouldnt take any medical advise here for her,but she is freaking out about blood thinners for some reason..What does she generally need to know about them .. She is like "can I still go on vacation" etc.. I know you have to be careful about injuries etc.... she was prescribed xarelto
she is freaked out mainly as she thinks once you start thinners you cant stop, life long.. she thinks only smokers or risk for thrombose... she is freaked out about now going to denists risks, gum bleeding. etc and that she is marked for life.
They also said she has atrialfibrilation.. when I google that.. I get freaked out as that is serious, as she has really none of those symtoms... she actually feels good cardiovasclularly.
I am just freaking out should I convince her to get those thinners or wait until she gets another appoitment.. maybe she can pop a few aspirin in the meantime??
