Enquires on tablets
Hi doctor,
Myself ramya staying in bangalore, last month my husband had heartattack , by God's grace he's fine now my question is like he's 35years now. After angiogram they did angioplasty too , but while explaining they said there is 35% blockage , but in report they mentioned 70 to 80% blockage . They kept stent also .
They gave cholesterol tablets, Blood thinner . But many people telling taking many tablets may result in diabetes. Is this true? If yes how to avoid diabetes. Need clarification on this.
Thank you in advance
Regards
Ramya

Stent must have placed as per their best of knowledge for the well being of patient.
Yes you are right the cholesterol lowering tablet has such issues to cause diabetes, only if the lifestyle is sedentary
If taking a good care & appropriate lifestyle modifications, it will not cause any problem.
There are some new medications which can help
