Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder that can cause serious health problems. People with APS are at an increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and other health complications. To reduce the risk of these health issues, it is important to take steps to avoid triggers and manage the condition.

Lifestyle Changes

Smoking - Smoking is a risk factor for many health issues, including APS. People with APS should quit smoking to reduce their risk of developing health complications.

Exercise - Regular exercise is important for people with APS. Exercise can help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of blood clots.

Stress - Stress can worsen symptoms of APS. People with APS should practice stress management techniques, such as yoga and meditation.

Medications

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) - NSAIDs can increase the risk of bleeding and should be avoided by people with APS.

Blood Thinners - Anticoagulants, or blood thinners, are used to reduce the risk of blood clots in people with APS. These medications should be taken as prescribed by a doctor.

Immunosuppressants - Immunosuppressants are medications that can suppress the immune system and reduce the risk of complications from APS. These medications should be taken as prescribed by a doctor.

Other Tips

Vaccinations - People with APS should avoid live vaccines, as they can trigger an autoimmune response. It is important to talk to a doctor before receiving any vaccinations.

Alcohol - Alcohol can increase the risk of bleeding and should be limited or avoided by people with APS.

Hot Tubs - Hot tubs and saunas can increase the risk of developing blood clots and should be avoided by people with APS.
