OT/ How many are cardiac challenged?

aspirin, perindopril, 2 other white ones whose name i can't remember but i'll look when i get home if you like - I'm mobile right now - ibook and cellphone, metformin, and a special statin that's new - I used to take simvastatin. - they give me the belly ache ache and make me feel flat and tired if I take all of 'em, I'm gonna complain to the doc !, and a fairly strict diet and excercise program that sometimes I enjoy and sometimes I get pi$$ed-off with, BUT I'm doing ok. BP is my biggest problem now, and they discoved all this 'cause they said I wasn't well enough to have a carcinoma removed, but they had to do it anyway. I felt poorly.



Edit: Diblocin XL, and Bendroflumethiazide.

I had mine on Mother's Day 2002. We did finish dessert before it happened, though! ;o) Back main artery 100% clogged, BUT 98% recovery because I made it to the hospital in the middle of the attack and they were able to shoot me up like a druggie and stop it in its tracks.
 
I take a simvastatin, Metoprolol tartrate and captopril along with one aspirin. I was on coumadin blood thinner for over a year. thank God I am off the rat poison
 
Growing up Italian was too much eating fun Joe. Worst when you start cooking yourself because you can pick in choose the marvelously terrible for you stuff that you love to eat.
 
I guess I'm the oddball in these "tales of the heart". I've had no cardiovascular event of the type described here, but I had my own encounter with endocarditis, similar to what St. Louis Rams Coach Mike Martz is going through right now. In 1993, at age 63, I was diagnosed with endocarditis that left me with heart valve problems. After they cleared up the infection, I had open heart surgery to install two mechanical heart valves. I've been ticking away for the past twelve years, and hope to make it for many more.
 
Those statin drugs can be killer for torn muscles and the like...especially if you are a fair ways post cardiac event and are regularly exercising. They up creatin levels in the muscles and can lead to some pretty nasty injuries. I have journal articles if anyone wants (though it may take me some time to find)...just be careful and make sure you let your Dr know you want your levels monitored if you're exercising regularly.
