| 2 | Anti-Platelet drug because of stent | Shortness of breath, chest pressure, feeling freezing cold, dizziness, rapid heart beat, | I am trying Brilinta because after my first stent (2010) I couldn't tolerate Plavix at all. Switched to Effient - symptoms were less but still did not like the side effects. I got off of it after 9 mo. & got re-stented this week (82% block in first stent). So - I know I must stay on antiplatlet meds and am trying to find the one I can best tolerate. I'm not very hopeful at this point. I have difficulty with almost ALL meds in the first place. | F | 69 | 4 days 90 mg 2X D | 10/11/2013 | |
