Heart Healthy Diet Questions

Asked for male, 22 years old from Bangalore

For My granny black stools are happening, she is taking glador m2, clopidogrel, tonact 40, ecosprin 75, telmed beta 50, Is it a serious issue please help the needy, she came across heart attack n two stents are also deployed.

Dr. Sriniwas Thakur

Geriatrician•Thane

Glad to hear that you are concerned about your Granny's health. The complaints of passing black stools suggests that she is having bleeding from the stomach or upper intestine; unless she is taking oral iron tablets. Given the history that she is taking ecosprin and clopidogrel, which are blood thinners and prone to cause stomach ulcers, it is a high possibility. You must get her evaluated as early as possible. Regards. Take Care.

However ,it is not advisable to follow this regime if a person had some troubles with the heart. Otherwise it is very safe and result oriented.

What is right for your son may not be right for you. One can definitely use butter un diet but like any fat, it has its effect. So moderation with fats is always good. Fat is a good source of energy but it also has a tendency to clog your arteries if moderation is not exercised.
