What Should I Do To Stop Using A Drug Induced Stent That Makes Me Feel Uneasy?
Some 6 months ago I suffered a minor heart attack and was given a drug induced stent. Whilst all of the tests since have proven that I am in good health I.e. Good blood pressure and cholesterol at 3.2 most days I feel unwell with the medication. I do not wish to stop any medication (to include statins) but what options do I have

Hi welcome to Hcm
I understand your query and concern.
You should never stop using drugs when you have stent.Sudden discontinuation leads to restenosis or fresh MI.You can have a dose reduction instead by consulting your cardiologist.thankyou
