Heart attack

2018-11-26 00:16:21
Hello Practo, I had a heart attack or something that mimics a heart attack 1st of Dec 2017, I got to the hospital and was on ICU. During the period, the doctors found out that my total lipid levels and blood sugar and blood pressure levels where very perfect but yet I still had a heart attack, what's the cause please? I don't want to live on unnecessary drugs that I was placed on which are clopidogrel, aspirin 75mg daily, atorvastatin 40mg daily and isosorbide daily I'm looking forward to you amazing diagnosis. Best regards Ekene

Need to see ECG, ECHO and cardiac biomarkers, if doctors made the diagnosis of heart attack, then need to CONTINUE all medication prescribed, generally medications decrease after 1 year
