Should I Be Worried As My Husband Was Diagnosed With Antiphoslipid Syndrome?
my husband has had 4 strokes, he was dignosed with antiphoslipid syndrome... for the last three days the left side of his face has been swollen and his sense of smell is going CRAZY! I want him to go get checked out but he says he is okay. Should I be worried?

Hi, thank you for asking in Healthcare Magic. I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
Anti-phospholipid syndrome causes arterial & venous thromboembolism, i.e. it causes clots formation inside blood vessels that can lead to stroke. So he must start taking anticoagulants. You must consult your physician who can prescribe him those medications as drug monitoring is very important in the initial days of starting treatment so I cannot prescribe you any medication here.
I hope, my answer will help you.
