Suggest Treatment For 70% Blockage In The Arteries
I found out I have 70% blockage in my arteries right now. My doctor raised my pravastatin from 20 mg a day to 40 mg a day. I smoke have cut that to about half, cut all sweets out completely .I am now exercising, about 30 minutes 3 times a week. I am really scared. Taking 81 mg aspirin daily. Is there anything I can do to get it down to 60% My doctor said she would order another ultrasound in a year. I had vertigo and they did all kind of test and this is how I found out about the blockage
