Weight Loss, On Blood Thinners After Angina Attack, Left Hip Replaced, Blood Loss From Back Passage. Any Ideas ?

Some doctors think I have heart problems. I seem to have lost 2stone in weight and two or three inches in height I am a bit like a bag of bones my bottom ribs rub on the top of the humorous I was put on blood thinning medication and I'm 86 years old. I did have one or two angina attacks, but not strong ones. My digestive system was in a bit of a mess- I have little appetite, but try to eat food that does not put fat on but muscle - Have nearly got this in control, open bowels most day and water works ok. I have lost some of the loose wrinkled skin. I had a camera inspection in my lower gastric area, which showed nothing- now they want to camera the upper gastric area and I am severely stressed about this, which isn't helping of course This all started 14 months ago when I had a heavy fall into the road and struck the exact place that of a laminectomy on spine, 4th-5th Lumbar, from some years previously. It still aches badly today. I also have left hip replaced, and arthritis in right hip. ( sorry there's more) . I had a sudden heavy loss of blood from back passage about six months ago, that's why they tried camera work,,
Sorry ! I've also got Asthma and constant cough, breathing is poor. Here's hoping !!! Thank so much. AAA

Hello.
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
You mentioned in your query that you are taking blood thinner .
Since ,how many days , you are taking these drugs.
Also mention the lipid profile reports,
As far as concerned about weight loss , this is due to loss of appetite and diet restrictions as for fatty acid.
Another reason of weight loss is blood loss some time back.
Appetizer can improve appetite.
Indigestion may be due to blood thinner drugs.
Important point is reports of lipid profile.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
