HI , Welcome to HCM ,
please do not stop any medicine until your cardiologist stop any medicine ,
after stent all this medicine must be taken in time ,
all above medicine to be continue life long ,
if medicine stopped, there are very very high chances of blockage of stent ,
adopt healthy life style ,
avoid tobacco use in any form,
be regular in your follow up visit with your cardiologist.
take care
