In 2004 I had a heart attack at the age of 47, No smoking, Good diet, not over weight, just bad genes. I had a stent inserted and three months later had another stent placed in a different artery. Last month August 2015 age 58 I had another heart attack and had another stent inserted. In 2012 my Dr. took me off Plavix and I think that is what had caused the new blockage.
All of my life I've had quick clotting blood. Never needed stitches. Very thick blood.
I am on Brilinta now after my new stent. My Dr. Said I should only need to take it for a year or so. I don't want to stop taking it. Any feedback would be appreciated. I've always taken 81 mg aspirin and will continue to do so.
