How Can Heart Arteries Be Unclogged?

Hi have plaque build ed up in my corid artery thats was found to be at 50% in 2014. I also had a 50% blockage in 2007 I was given a statin simvastatin 40 mg in 2007. I though that i was ill from a heart disease, and was amitted in 2009 for a stent, well I went into surgery and when I came out I asked what type of stent did they put in me and they said nothing, your blockage is much smaller now I was so excited,I stop my statin theraphy a year later because my muscle were in bad shape. I did a life style change continue my statin therapy . I am so avid about reducing or getting rid of the blockage in my left carotid artery. because I don t want to die, I am on anxiety medication and a 324 mg aspirin and simvastatin 20mg that aggravates my pre-diabetes . What should I consider now to help unclog my arteries.

Hello,

Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.

You are already doing great, formation of plaque is a gradual process and its resolution too takes time, proper medication and a good lifestyle is all whats needed. Along with the medication a good food habit , exercise and consistency is essential. I would suggest you to use fish oil as will which is easily available OTC is is rich in healthy fat and increases HDL which is involved in reducing plaque size..
You can not cut out all the fat in your food but you can use beneficial fat which will in fact make things better. You also have to keep your weight in best possible limit and things will stay fine.


I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you.
Regards.

Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
