Hi Im a 68 yr old woman and, I recently had an angiography with 2 stents placed and they were 80% & 30% in 2 clogged arteries. I was experiencing shortness of breath and occasional chest pain. They placed me on Plavix and I'm already on Eliquis too for a previous blood clot and Factor Leiden five blood coagulation. It's been a week and still experiencing a little shortness of breath. It's now a long road for diet and exercise. Both parents had fatal heart attacks. and any feedback would be helpful. It is so helpful to see others similar situations.

Give it more time. If your BMI is over the normal keep exercising and dieting to get it down to mid normal. Keep moving. Cut off TV and read books or go for hikes. If oral statins are not working for you try Repatha. Water Aerobics is a good exercise too

Look up Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn and research his diet. Still follow all your doctors advice.
