I started taking Clopidogrel after my 2nd stroke (appx. 7 months ago), and I was getting mild chest pains a few months after the stroke and I went to the emergency room at the Hospital and no blockage was found. Dr. Suggested I separate clopedegrel and baby aspirin appx. 2 hours from my other medications, I did and it helped a little. Then I quit taking my fish oil pills and quit drinking green tea and the pains in my chest quit.

I stopped taking fish oil, and stopped drinking green tea, and was having some mild chest pains, before my stroke. The Cardiologist put me on Eliquis, and a baby aspirin, one a day. Last week, I had a Watchman implant put in my heart, because I have A-Fib episodes, and the Watchman, will help, so that I may not get any clots coming from the heart! I don’t have hardly any chest discomfort these days!
