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 .
