Vitamin C Forum

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.

Sorry to hear of that bad event. But glad you survived.

The Stent was put in June 7th. of 2019, over 14 months ago.
I was doing very good, exercising daily, and a Heart Cath. on July 1 2020, showed perfectly Clean, I stopped my Aspirin on August 1st. 2020.

I take 1 Unique-E daily, plus what is in 4 Scoops Heart Tech and my Multi-Vitamin/mineral from Life Extension.

Yes, I would Love Johnwen's input.
I saw on of his posts that said to take Serrapeptase 40,000 SPU 12 hours after taking Effient. I will give that a try in a week or Two.

No good news, DiverDown.
How long did you take Effient after stent implantation? Do you have DES-(drugs eluting) Stents? Do you take Omega-3, and how much? And amino acids arginine and citrulline. Amino acid taurine calms the pulse and lowers blood pressure. It works for me. I wish you all the best.

I took Brilinta for 11 months after stent implantation.
Yes they are DES stents.
I take 2 Tablespoons Flax Seed oil, Ultra Strength Omega-3 Fish Oil 2200 mg., which has 1400 mg. EPA, 480 mg. DHA.
2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil daily.
I take Super Beet Powder for Nitric Oxide twice daily, since arginine and L-Lysine compete for the same pathway.
I do not take Taurine, but I do have some.
I have only been on Effient since this past Thursday.

I was just worried that my blood would get too thin with Prasugrel, ASS and Omega-3 (and others), and bleeding occurs. But I took the risk.
