AS I STATED BEFORE MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN HAVING MINI TIA'S(STROKES)CAUSED FROM THE HYPERTENSION.WE RECENTLY
FOUND OUT HE WAS ALLERGIC TO THE BETA BLOCKERS AND THE ACE INHIBITORS THEY WERE GIVING HIM(ACCUPRIL &
METOPROLOL).THEY HAVE NOW PUT HIM ON VERAPAMIL AND
ADDED PLAVIX (KEEPS THE PLASMA FROM FORMING CLOTS)
IT HAS SLOWED THE TIA'S DOWN.NOW WHEN HE FEELS A TIA COMING ON,I GIVE HIM DIAZEPAM TO HIM AND WE CAN SAIL RIGHT THRU IT.BLOOD PRESSURE HAS BEEN IN NICE LOW NUMBERS AS WELL...LAURA

Laura,

That is good. I hope this continues to work for your husband. It sounds like you both need a much needed break.

Take care........Cattys
