[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 457739, member: 2901"] I had a heart attack. Nitro, Isorbide, and lipitor were on my list of medications. Taking the medications, as prescribed, is very, very important. Sometimes docs have samples - don't be afraid to ask. If you don't have good communication with the cardio, ask your family doctor to call on Mr. Lisa's behalf to address some of the barriers to appropriate follow-up care(such as availability of the medications). Also check Wal Mart's list of medications. Their $4 list is pretty comprehensive. Sometimes local social service departments will pick up the tab for a little while for medications, even tho you don't qualify for Medicaid. My experience with Isorbide was that it made a huge difference for me, I was able to walk around without developing chest pain - which was encouraging and reassuring. For some time I carried the nitro with me, wherever I went. Do what you can to get the Mr to go for the follow-up visit, but not to help the doctor complete his study - do it because it will be a good indicator of where things are going medically. Go with a list of questions written down, if need be. We'll be thinking of you here; get some rest for yourself too - mom's orders .. .. .. and I know what I'm talking about. [/QUOTE]
