Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just had 2 stents placed on the left side of my heart, a minor heart attack. They placed me on the following meds--Metoprolo They said irregular heart rhythm from procedure to place stent. Clopidogrel-----Lisinopril----baby aspirin. They tried to stick me on a statin, my cholesterol is 141. In reading about these drugs, it sounds as though they want you on them for life, and getting off can cause heart and severe problems. The Dr. said I am at high risk if I get off the drugs. My BP was ok before. Meds have taken my BP down as low as 106/56. Customer reviews and medical reviews describe very bad side effects. Mike Bennett
