Hi, Dr. Rynne,
I am taking low dose aspirin with Plavix due to a recent heart stent implant, with another to come this week. Along with these drugs, which I believe I need to prevent clogging, I have also been prescribed Lipitor, Aldactone, Altace, and Coreg. This last group of drugs cause faintness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and threaten to make worse my Type 2 diabetes. I am currently no longer taking these. My job requires me to climb ladders, squat, kneel, bend, and stretch. My caretakers ignore my concerns. And refuse to discontinue these medications. Am I doing the right thing?
