I am COVID positive and today is the 8th day. I take Telmistran H regularly for high blood pressure. My current medicines are Azithromycin 500, Ivermectin, Doxycycline, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, and Paracetamol since day 2. My recent blood report shows D dimer level 2600. One doctor advised a blood thinner injection for 7 days, while another said it is not immediately necessary and that Ecosprin 150 is enough. I need your opinion and guidance.

Question

Accepted Answer

Your D dimer is elevated, which may happen in COVID. If you are feeling fine, no breathlessness or chest pain, oral medicines like Ecosprin are often enough. Blood thinners are used only in higher risk cases. Continue to monitor and follow your doctor advice. Please repeat the D dimer for 2 to 3 days and also get CBC and CRP done. A chest scan may be considered if symptoms worsen.
