Post heart attack drugs

It’s working. • Brilinta 90mg 2X/day (new drug)… anticoagulant to keep clotting off the new stents. Take this for one year. • Corvedilol 25mg 2X/day Beta blocker blood pressure med. This one works on…

Still working hard to prevent the next one?
My fear is that we fall back into our old routines. I'm still in rehab, but my neighbor who had a heart attack used to walk. Now I don't see him out anymore. Is this to be expected as the passion/fear wares off?

Expected measurements after weight loss
It’s been a while... returning with a technical question. If a person looses 15% (just for example) of weight by diet modification, does that person’s neck cicumference, waist circumference, thigh circumference, ect. also reduce by 15%?

When and where did your heart attack occur?
I was at my office on Feb 27 (3:00 PM) giving a presentation to a team of executives and lawyers. I began to sweat profusely and pressure was building up in my chest. I also felt pain in both my arms. I made it out of the boardroom after the final Q&A session, went to the lobby's front desk and asked security to call 911.

Has your diet become customized?
Its getting difficult to "brand" my diet under any one program :-) ...hard to explain. I evolved and morphed my diet as I learned what works for me. This is what I'm talking about... - Eat kind of like South Beach phase 2 most of time... really phase 1.5 :-) No bread, pasta, potato, rice, and sweets...avoid simple carbs…
