Daily headaches since heart stent
by susieqrod, Sep 20, 2008 08:30PM
I'm 53 yr old female. July '08 had catheterization with stent placement. Cardiologist prescribed 75mg plavix, 325 mg aspirin, and 40mg simvastatin (zocor). Three days after the stent placement, I started with the chest pains again. Dr ordered 30mg isosorbide which gave me headaches everyday but no more chest pains. After 5 weeks my cardiologist said to cut them in half which I did and after 2 weeks I'm still getting the headaches and now mild chest pains again. Has anyone else had this problem? The weird thing is, I tried stopping the isosorbide for 2 days and still got the headaches and worse chest pain. Today I resumed the 1/2 med and severe headache ensued. I called my cardiologist several days ago to see if we could try something else but my call has not been returned. Anyone have any help or advise?
