Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
10 years ago I had 4 stents put in. One in the Lad and three in the RCA. I weighed 280lbs at the time. Now ten years later I weighed 219lbs passed a thalum stress test but told my doctor I didnt feel good. He did a catherization on me and found 85% blockage of the lad and a 50% blockage of the circumflex. Put stent in the Lad and said he doesnt stent unless there is 70% blockage so no stent in circumflex. My cholesterol total was 183 total ldl 123. Now 4 months after stent being a total vegan and taking 10mg Lipitor a day ldl dropped to 40 and total cholesteral 102. My question is can I drop the Lipitor to 5mg a day since it leaves me slightly fatigued and not feeling mentally real sharp.
