Thursday after lunch, (I had a salad with tuna) about an hour later I started having horrible chest pains and nausea, I knew from the first one what was going on, we rushed to the ER, luckily I only live 5 minutes away from hospital, they did a Heart Cath. and found one of the stents had a Blood Clot totally blocking, they cleared that, and said except for the clot I did not have any plak and the stents were clean.
They asked if i had been taking my Aspirin, I had to admit i stopped 2 weeks before, they told me if i had stayed on the 81mg. aspirin this almost certainly would not have happened.
Anyway they prescribed:
81mg. Aspirin
10mg. prasugrel Effient
12.5mg. Metoprolol (take for 2 months) if heart rate is above 60.
Crestor 10mg.
