hi doc,
my sister is 38 yrs old. she is having BP for many years and is taking CORVADIL A tablet one each daily.Today she is having breathlessness from 3 pm in the afternoon and is not comfortable. Just tell me what medicine should be provided to her now to get relief from breathlessness. Would Aspirin tablet suffice?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, aspirin will not relieve her breathlessness.
Since your sister is having hypertension since long time, we should rule out congestive heart failure (CHF) as a cause for her breathlessness.
Aspirin is blood thinner with painkiller action. It won't give any benefit in breathlessness.
So better not to give her aspirin.
In my opinion, you should take her to the hospital and get done ecg and 2d echo to diagnose CHF.. She may need diuretics and other cardiac supportive drugs.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your sister. Thanks.
