Recovery from LAD stent

I've had MRIs of my spine previously. My bone density is good and muscle tone as I have been dancing and exercising everyday all my life. It's only now after this procedure that I am off balance, dizzy and fatigued which I think must be the Plavix. My diet is also very good. I was determined to be an atypical heart disease patient. I think this is what is very difficult for me to all of a sudden be in this situation. I have none of the attributes of a heart patient. No high cholesterol or blood pressure previously. It seems to have been a ticking time bomb building up and the only determination is genetics. I am statin intolerant as discovered in the hospital so I will eventually be taking an injectable. I am hoping that acupuncture can help me with the dizziness and fatigue. Having to stay on Plavix for six months to a year feeling like this is upsetting. Thank you for your input.

I have also heard 6 months to a year on the blood thinner. More 12 months vs 6 months though. I would love to see the research on the decision making process. I hate being on meds.
