Posted on Fri, 6 Jan 2017
Question: My husband had his aortic valve replaced in 2007. He had a mild stroke 2 years ago. He is on warfrin, atrovastin, atenenol, and baby aspirin. He has been having severe lower back pain all day. He has been coughing and it is hard for him to catch his breath. Should I take him to the emergency room or wait and try to get him in to see his Dr tomorrow?

Detailed Answer:
It shouldn't be serious. But needs to be evaluated by a doctor.
In case of serious problems there should be severe pain, breathlessness, low blood pressure and/or cyanosis on the face.
