What can be done with a severely stenosed M1 artery?

Posted by esque @esque, Apr 1 8:05am

I recently had what they suspect was a TIA. The CT showed severely stenosed M1 artery on the left and moderately stenosed on the right. I was put on Brilinta, Aspirin 81mg and Ezetimibe. Will taking these make the situation improve? What else should I do?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases Support Group.

Saw this on the internet:

What is the Brilinta controversy?
Brilinta Lawsuit - Prescription Drug Journal™
AstraZeneca is currently facing numerous lawsuits alleging that it altered Brilinta clinical trial data, exposing patients to a risk of severe, potentially life-threatening side effects unknown not only to them but their prescribing doctors and the healthcare community as well.

Wow! I was not aware of these issues! Thanks for the info!
I have had severe shortness of breath and high pulse rate every time I stand up…could be from the Brilinta.
