Heart problem

by MG45, Sep 29, 2009 12:50AM

My mum had a triple heart bypass 5 years ago. Last year she started to exhibit symptoms of heart blockage again so doctors inserted a stent. She suffers from diabetes. Now she is not well again and doctors are saying that her arteries are shrinking. Pls Pls advise what can be done?
