“Also, varicose veins appeared and at the last trial for prolongation he felt ill, he called a doctor twice, the pressure rose to as much as 150, the doctor prescribed a bunch of drugs again, also blood-thinning troubles him, this is due to varicose veins. Although the pressure had never bothered my spouse before. I again handed over the prescribed medications and also handed him the vitamins, as his body was completely weakened,”,- she said.
