blood thinners

blood thinners

I was on plavix and a 325mg. asprin. I have a stent and 60% plugged in another. I was in the hospital a week ago with internal bleeding. I have two ulcers in my stomach which is caused by these blood thinners. Is there anything else I can take for my heart because they will not let me take these medications any more ???

This is a difficult situation.  Depending on when the stent was put in, there is a risk of clotting it.  IF the stent was put in relatively recently, you should be at least on ASA but I would not start it until this is cleared by your doctors.  Make sure that your cardiologist is involved in the decision making process.
