Good morning. I did gym and other fitness activities after my first and last episode of status epilepsy that was in 1993. I rose to high position. However, after my negative test for TMT on Dec 3, I travelled. However, I had heart attack on Dec 14. A block 99% was treated by angioplasty. Another block was noted in a small side artery. The cardiologist tried but could not reach. My medicines are: Tab Revlol 25/5 1-0-0; Tab Eptoin 1-0-0, Tab Presudoc 10 mg 1-0-0; Tab Telma 80 0-0-1. Tab Atorva 20 0-0-1, Ecospirin 150 0-0-1; Tab Eptoin 0-0-2. I am 59 and maintain good health. My question to you is: What should I do with the second block? The doctors advised me to forget about it. After angioplasty, I have attained 50 min walking to cover 4 km each morning. My food is looked after very well. A week ago, my physician called me to his home for dinner and offered me a glass of red wine. What should be the frequency of red wine (1 glass)? I shall greatly appreciate your time. Anil
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry for that second clot. That clot must be in the distal small artery so that the cardiologist did not Stent it. No need to worry about this kind of clot in smaller arteries. You are taking esprit and atorvastatin. They will look after that small clot. You are also doing good in terms of exercise (daily 4 km walking with good pace). This also suggest that your heart is working fine. And red wine occasionally (once a month) is actually beneficial to the heart patients. So you can take red wine (1 glass) only once a month, not more than this. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
