Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should Angioplasty Medication Be Continued Due To Uneasiness And Sleeplessness?
I had angioplasty in September 2007. I used to take Aspirin and other drugs continuously. Since I feel better and normal. I stopped taking tablets.However I feel little uneasy and loss sleep. Doctor could you please advice whether I should continue the medicine?
It's not a good idea to discontinue such medication without discussing with your doctor first. You don't say what else you are receiving besides the aspirin, but I suspect they are protective drugs for your heart. Aspirin acts as a blood thinner and a small daily dose is strongly recommended in people who have had stents or heart attacks. You do have underlying heart disease which can continue to progress, even without symptoms for a long time. I recommend you talk to your cardiologist and get back on your medicines unless s/he tells you something different, Hope this helps.
