Was given 2 stents that i didn't want or agree to.Was not advised of the side effects as i was drugged.At first, my medical records stated i would have to have dapt for 12 months, then by next day it changed to over 12 months, and now it has changed to forever.The stents apparently damage the artery walls thus keeping the arteries thinking that they have to constantly be in a healing process by producing a type of cholesterol called lipoprotein or lp(a).The cracks or damaged area are repaired with a fatty patch.Eventually these fatty patches grow with platelets, calcium that form the atherosclerotic plaque that leads to disease.Since i now have 2 metal meshes in my arteries, my arteries will forever thick they need to try to heal, thus making me more likely to have another blockage.The medicine i now have to take make me dizzy, short of breath, cough, tired, memory loss, muscle loss.The dr i went to did not write down the side effects but stated in my medical records that i was tolerating the meds well and told me verbally to "suck it up.".
