Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern, and would explain that your symptoms could be related to Brilinta adverse effects.
Coming to this point, I would recommend discussing with your doctor on the possibility of switching to aspirin or clopidogrel.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
