Hello @lesmal I'm glad you're doing better, I hope you won't have any issues re seeing your neurologist or your medications with all of this coronavirus panic.
My husband is doing okay, he had a few episodes of palpitations these last few weeks which we think is linked to the stress of this situation. We're both staying home and have done a few teleconsultations with the cardiologist and GP and he seems to be doing okay now.
Thanks for asking

@cassydee Thank you for your comments.
I received the results of my latest angiogram and treatment so far has been successful! The letter received made me burst into tears, as this was both a sign of relief and happiness at the same time. I am so grateful that I don't have to face another operation, just a follow up MRI in September, 2020.
In the meantime, I'm still on Aspirin and Clopidogrel until May, and also in the process of changing epilepsy medication through a 12 week programme, weaning off one and increasing dosage of a new one. Hoping this will work in the long run and help to control the seizures. Will keep you posted as to progress.
Wishing you and your husband a peaceful time during COVID-19; please both stay healthy!
Happ Easter!

Stents can be used to deblock blood vessels (in particular, coronary artery) or prevent aneurysms.
Have you already had stents inserted as a preventive or an emergency measure?
Have you experienced any complications or had any allergic reactions? How did the operation go and what recommendations did you receive from your doctor for the post-operation recovery?
Thank you in advance for sharing your experience!
