Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Drug induced ithiness , pain at central rib and prickly feeling at breast,which is mostly caused from Plavix , as this drug is known to cause these complaints as side effects.Aspirin 100 mg-(Cardirin) may cause itchiness but not central rib pain,as its basically a pain killer- but not used in high doses to cause painkiller effect of 300 mgm and hence could be considered and studied for such complaints.
These complaints are normal and needs review to change Plavix-75 mg / Cardiprin -100 mgm.
Tab Allegra 120 mg may curb these complaints.If need be use steroids in low doses,to avoid infection in implanted medicated stents.
Hope this reply would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there.

Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day!!
