Stent put in place
Hi I had stent put in approx. 4 weeks ago. I am on Plavix and ramopril and aspirin daily. I quit smoking before I had the stent put in and I'm trying to follow a cardiac diet. The problem now that I am having is that I feel more tired now then I did before the stent. My energy level is lower I'm having

Ablation number 2
Well after seeing my EP at Westmead yesterday, I am up for another ablation on the 4th August. Why so long, that is the list, he wants me on Warfarin for 3 weeks before and 4 weeks after then I can go back onto my weaker Plavix. He also wants me to start on Solatol. Any thoughts on this drug, I have

Hi, My daughter has APS & Sjorgren's, and, although the GP happily tells us her thyroid is 'normal', Prof Hughes is not convinced! She has had no documented thrombotic events, but presents with the usual migraines, brain fog, neuralgia, etc. She has tried asprin and Plavix, but they did not help

My neurosurgeon wants me to take Elavil for pain. He said he would start me on 10 mg and then increase jut to 25 mg if needed. Is there a
less chance of getting side effect from
Elavil
with this low dose?
