PUBLISHED 4:10 PM CDT May. 20, 2022FORT WORTH, Texas — The combination of his medication and a trip to the dentist may have been just the mix to send him to the emergency room with multiple strokes.Though Marmolejo didn’t know that at the time. At first, during a family barbecue at his Fort Worth home on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, he said he just started feeling really bad out of nowhere.
But the Operation Desert Storm veteran would find that relief very short lived, as relief turned into his worst symptoms yet. This does happen and can happen to anyone, said Markpool, but it’s certainly not an everyday occurrence. That medication works by blocking parts of the immune system. So the thought is, that medication blocked Marmolejo’s protection from that bacteria and it ran free in his blood and to his heart.
Dr. Markpool said regardless of what led to the infection, Marmolejo did the right thing by seeking help for the stroke-like symptoms. He said he stresses to so many patients to not worry about over-reacting to symptoms or seeking help for something that turns out to be nothing. He said to just get checked out.
