ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND asking such a question like this online? It's bad enough that this catagory exists at all, much less seeking medical direction, of any kind, from laymen. Who prescribed to you? If it wasn't a cardiologist, get one, especially with a history of heart disease or heart involvement. And...NEVER, EVER ask ANY kind of medical question here. Well intentioned as people are, they have no business offering their bad advise. If you are a professional, IN THIS FIELD ONLY, state your titles. This makes me CRAZY. People, stay off of this site if you are coming on to ask or answer medical questions. You put yourselves and others in great danger.Don't even come on for advise because you can never be sure of who knows what. Grizz It would be nice as well, to get a little verbal support from some of my colleagues on this travesty.
