Question: Hi, I have two heart attacks. The second did very little damage. The first one did the damage the widow make 100% blocked 45-100 minutes. I am not sure of that. I had a stent put there and top vien across the heart 70% second stent both medicated. This attack left me with borderline heart failure. Ejection fraction 37-42. I take my BP daily and have noticed a few spikes. This is at rest. 207/67 (that range). If I go to the VA they tend to make a big thing. Those numbers twice were 205/102. Medication for the cardiverol, lisinpro and a slow release nitro. My normal spikes are 140's / 90's. . Usually 130/. 80. A wierd thing going if I stand on a hard surface my siatica hurts often but to top of foot. Sometimes just ankle side and foot hurt. Not the same time as these spikes. I am male 67, overweight 240 at 6'. Should be with my build more like 170 but anything under 200 would be good. I also take Wellbutrin and limitcal. A sall anoint of Lipitor. Yes and latest one in gabapentine. Trying this for the leg pain.this was happening before this latest medicine. My meds were stable for over a year before these strange BP's. I know these medicines are misspelled. I am sure you can figure them out.
