Are CoQ10 And Omega 3 Fish Oil Effective In Treating Heart Attack?
Question: i had a heart attack 17months ago
I have been taking ecotrin, lasix, slow k, bilocor for a year
the cardiologist is happy with my progress
i feel well
But CoQ10 and procollagen and omega3 have been suggested as good supplements
If they will help and not conflict with the medication above I will take them.
What do you think? I want to be sure not to take anything that will give me another clot in a heart artery
