hi i had my first cardiac event in 2009 and have had 3 more since .. 3 angiograms which showed nothing .. troponin levels 85 numerous ecgs and even a bubble test as they were convinced there should be some damage all to no avail .blood pressure runs at average of 185/120 despite 8 diff meds that have been swapped and changed so many times .. regular daily bouts of palpitations.. does this all never end ??? even my gp joked i should leave my body to medical science as most peoples arteries cant run on such high pressures for so long ...

Check to see if cutting out dairy helps then try other things like caffeine

I had 4 CABGs before stents were in wide use. I recommend that you watch the film "Forks Over Knives". It is on Netflix and YouTube. It is about global medical heart research and the findings, including a massive study of 800,000 Chinese people. You might find it helpful, I did.

I have been on a Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) diet since March and the evidence of my blood pressure (117/70), cholesterol (2.7) and pulse (50-60) indicate that my arteries are cleared. So, it has taken only 6 months. My doctor is gradually taking me off all the meds.
