Is It Safe To Remove Teeth While Having Chest Pain And Rapid Heart Beat?

My dad needs a tooth extraction, but the dentist said he has to stop taking aspirin before the procedure. My dad was rushed to the hospital a few months back because of chest pain and rapid heart beat. He was given Micardis, amlodipin. Can he go with extraction? thanks!

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Aspirin has to be stopped before extraction to prevent prolonged bleeding.
I would advice you to first consult your fathers cardiologist and get his cardiac status evaluated.If his doctor gives a yes after a check up,you can carry with the extraction.

Hope your father has a speedy recovery.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and warm regards.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
For extraction of teeth your father will have to discontinue the medications for 2 to 3 days, So better that once you should consult with your physician, then go for tooth removal .
Hope it will help you.
