Hi All,
this is my first post on this group. I am glad to see that people are supporting each other. A month ago I had an angioplasty to his my LAD that was partially blocked. A year ago I had a an angiogram that showed some blockage in my left descending artery. The endocrinologist said just keep talking stating its not too bad. A year later I asked to see a cardiologist because I am very active in my care. She saw the test and said you need to take aspirin and your blockage its serious lets do an angioplasty if need be we put a stent. I was shocked as went a year thinking my diagnosis sis was not serious. And if I had not asked to see a cardiologist no one would know. I agree with her and started this journey. a month later I had the procedure. During the procedure the Dr said that we can do some more test before putting the stent. Its not too bad!! I was half drugged and thought lets just do it!!
I am now on prasugrel and have noticed that I have some unexplained bruising in my arm. I also have some nose bleeds and crusting especially in the morning.
I have contacted the cardiologist via email and informed her of this today as I read on line this is a serious side effect.
Any one experienced this and what was the course of action?
Thank you for reading.
