I am a 32-year-old male with a history of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) since 2005. I was taking Acitrom for 11 years, but after a genetic blood test, my doctor advised me to stop it. Within 14 days of stopping Acitrom, I suffered a heart attack. An angiogram revealed a clot in my heart, which was treated with Aggriblock. My cholesterol levels are normal, but I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes, although my glucose test one year ago was normal. I got married nearly two years ago and have a 10-month-old baby. I am very concerned about my future health. Could you please advise me on lifestyle changes to prevent further complications?
With your history of CVT, heart clot, and diabetes, it is very important to strictly follow your prescribed medicines and never stop them without medical advice. Focus on a healthy lifestyle, eat a low-sugar, high-fibre diet, avoid junk food and smoking, maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly as advised by your doctor, and monitor your blood sugar and BP routinely. Regular follow-ups with your specialists will greatly reduce future risks and help you stay healthy for your family.
