View allMy dad had a major heart attack a couple of months ago, and the angiography showed some serious stuff. It mentioned a 90% blockage in the mid LAD and another in the early OM1, plus an 80% blockage in OM2. They also did a PTCA with DES on the LAD shortly after the attack. I'm really worried and wondering what should we do next?

I'm currently taking 4mg of Acitrom because I had an AVR procedure. My doctor suggested adding Ecosprin 150 mg, but since Ecosprin is also a blood thinner, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about taking both. Could I be at risk for any complications, or is this combination really safe?
Taking Ecosprin 150 mg along with acitrom can increase the risk of bleeding due to their combined blood-thinning effects. It is important to follow your doctor's advice, but if you have concerns, it is best to discuss them with your doctor.

I've been on Axcer 90 along with Aspirin 75 since September 2018 until September 2019. After that, from September 2019 to May 2020, I switched to Axcer 60 with Aspirin 75 mg. I stopped taking Axcer 60 about 20 days ago, and now I'm feeling a bit uneasy in my chest sometimes at night. I had a heart attack back in September 2018 and I've had a preventative stress echo twice in the last 18 months, which came out fine. Is it possible that this uneasiness is some kind of withdrawal effect from stopping Axcer?
It is possible to experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping Axcser (clopidogrel) abruptly, especially after long-term use. Symptoms may include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, weakness, dizziness, or palpitations. Since you have a history of heart attack, it is important to consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen. To manage any potential withdrawal symptoms, your doctor may recommend gradually tapering off the Axcser dosage instead of stopping it suddenly. Additionally, they may provide alternative medications or adjust your treatment plan to ensure the best outcomes for your heart health.
