Have you been given gastric resistant aspirin? these dissolve much more slowly and affect the stomach a lot less. I had terrible heart burn but the GR type cured the problem.

A medicated stent has the probability of forming a clot at the site of the stent implant for a year or so.  So the majority of the medical community believes dual therapy of plavix and aspirin helps prevent that event.

Your current terrible feeling should not or may not be associated with your medical  experience and therapy.  But you may want to do a followup with your doctor to verify the stent implant is effective. Plavix does have side effects that can be flu-like symptoms, indigestion, dizziness, etc.

When you say you feel terrible, in what way?  Can you describe how you are feeling?  Have you discussed this with your doctor?  Ally
