Welcome to ' Ask a doctor service ' , You should note that dextrocardia if tolerated well should be left as such . Second for clotting , take care of your smoking , alcohal , lipid profile , blood pressure and blood sugar level . If all ok then you need prophylactic drug as ecospirin . I hope I have solved your query . With Regards , Dr Varinder Joshi .
