Why this happens
These mushrooms contain beta-glucans and other compounds that can improve insulin sensitivity or mimic insulin-like effects. They also contain substances that may interfere with how blood cells (platelets) clump together to form clots.
What you should do
It is generally safe to eat these as part of a normal diet. However, if you are taking them as concentrated supplements, you should monitor your blood sugar levels closely, especially if you have diabetes.

While this is often the goal of treatment, it can sometimes make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when you stand up quickly. It may also increase the risk of your kidneys not working as well as they should.

Treatment and medication
Can I take Aspirin and Ramipril together?
Taking aspirin and ramipril together can sometimes make the ramipril less effective at lowering your blood pressure. There is also a small risk that the combination could affect how well your kidneys work, especially if you are older, dehydrated, or already have kidney problems.
