Can I Have Heat Wrap Therapy While Suffering From Coronary Artery Disease?
Hi i sign up for a slimming programme recently. I.am a corobary artery disease patient for 10 years. I have 9 stents in me after suffering 2 heart attacks. I am on plavix for 10 years. Can i still undergo wrapping heat treatment for 30 mins and hot sauna for 10 min ? Will the heat melt my stents in my body ? Should i stop this treatment ? How can i lose weight and fats around my waist if i were to forgo my slimming program ? Pls advise, thank you v much :) Regards, Charmaine

Hi,
The heat will not melt the stents. However, as a heart patient you must be careful with extreme heat or cold.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
