Hi
I have gone through your father's medical history and understood your concern.
As I was reviewing his case, I came across these problems:
•Your father has been diabetic for 20 years now
•He has heart and kidney troubles
•Creatine is 2.2
•One stant putted one year ago
•Jaw pain/stress after stooping ecosprin 150
The main composition of ecosprin is aspirin. Aspirin is prescribed for headache, to reduce fever, migrane, toothache. It is an antiplatelet agent or blood thinner and reduces the risk of heart attack. This is the main reason his cardiologist prescribed to him.
Common side effects are bleeding, angioedema, hepatitis, ringing in the ear, enlarged liver, indigestion, respiratory alkalosis, running nose, urticaria, vertigo, vomiting etc.
You can use natural blood thinner by including them in your diet. Garlic, ginger, aniseed, celery seed. Foods rich in vitamin E like olive, corn, soybean, almonds, spinach, kiwis, broccoli, peanut butter etc.
If you want to substitute the ecosprin tablet I suggest to discuss it with your doctor to decide which is the best blood thinner that can be best in his case. Be careful when you take over the counter drugs because they interact with blood thinners.
Newer anticoagulants with less risk for bleeding are dabigastran, apixaban and rivaroxaban. Clopidogrel and ticlopidine are also widely use. These drugs are taken only if doctor ahs prescribed them.
I advice the diet changes at first if no improvement, then contact your doctor.
Also, make sure your father has not damaged the jaw with any kind of accident.
Hope it was useful.
