My father has been ailing from psvt since dec, 2019. He is 83 years old. He takes calaptin sr 120 and dabigatran 150. But off late be has been having blood in urine because of dabigatran as it is a blood thinner. He now also has a prostate problem which could be cancer of the prostate. Dabigatran has been temporarily stopped as a result. My question is - why is it necessary to take dabigatran along with calaptin? Thank you!

In cases with arrhythmias with high risk of clotting, dabigat or warfarin is given to protect from clotting. That's all right. Don't worry. Just get usg kub prostrate and s psa to rule out cancer. Nothing to worry, prostate problems are very common.

Hi lybrate-user, from the very short description, reaching a diagnosis is difficult. I strongly recommend you to take consultation with a general physician and a psychiatrist. The problems you are facing requires to be assessed by both. I would also suggest you not to self medicate with the above medications. These medications needs to be prescribed by a qualified medical practitioner only after thoroughly evaluating you. Do not take these medication on your own. Thank you.

Calaptin sr is very mild medicine. Your bp likely to soon become even higher with this change. Meet a md physician Dr. and ask him about adding a mild diuretic like hctz 12.5 on alternate days to your previous medicine. Calf pain may be poor diet or some medicine dide effect like statin etc. Be willing to take traditional health foods like nuts dairy and poultry. For good health one should reduce sugar jaggery, not traditional foods.

If you had recurrence on a dose, which you are sure was not missed then your dose can be increased if tolerated. Beyond medicines, there is option of radio frequency ablation which is an invasive procedure in case of recurrent episodes.
