Had a stent put in my heart and now on plavix and aspirin,now get bouts of bad shortness of breath which put my BP all over the place and making me feel very light headed and weak,hoping to come off plavix and try something different.

HoI am also on clopidogrel. I wonder if it reacts with other meds you might be taking? When I was in hospital after my HA I was given all my heart meds at once!! Apart from the statin which I take before bed. I has awful dizziness and light headedness so was advised to take it at a different time! Hope this helps
