Hello....
Your details are incomplete. I did not get Plavis ???
But as your description, you are suffering from Ischemic heart disease and had stenting (PTCA). And you are regular on tab aspirin with NTGN.
But if you are feelnig some clots in legs then definitely you should go for Colour Doppler Venography both lower legs to see any clot in superficial or deep vein. Because it can cause Pulmonary embolism later on.
Till then continue your drugs as usual if there is no other symptoms.
Thank You
