I got a stent back in September and its a drug coated stent. I was told to
take the Plavix for 6 months. Many stents my regular doctor said only required
1 month of Plavix. I didn't have high blood pressure so they didn't give me
any high blood pressure medication. I did have a cholesterol count of 275
though so I have been put on Crestor but that is going to be changed to another
cholesterol medication shortly because Crestor isn't controlling it properly.
I too hate taking drugs and I worry about what has caused this. My family
hasn't had a lot of history with heart problems.
I do think your doctor is a quack or he would have paid more attention to your
tests and not be giving you high blood pressure and cholesterol medication when
you didn't need it. Time to find a new doc.
As for this "Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD" I have been lurking here lately and I
see him as a troll. Every newsgroup seems to have a troll and this one has
him. If he was a real doctor he would be busy out making money and not posting
"How to become a Christian" here. He would be out saving the world.
I would say you need to find a new doctor and be checked out. The heart is a
little scarey to mess with.
Best of luck to you.
