Teresa and Gina,
I will try to follow-up after my June 12 appointment. I also had to start taking a baby aspirin and blood pressure medication after my TAVR.

@raydiesposti Ray,

I can understand the aspirin and BP meds. I've been doing that myself. Because I've had several surgeries of the upper digestive tract, I take a coated 81 mg aspirin rather than the baby aspirin. Much easier on the stomach.

Are you taking a beta blocker or an ACE inhibitor for your blood pressure?
