i am a 48 year man who had a major heart attack 6 months ago i had 3 stents placed and was put on 20 mg of zocor (dr. told me for the rest of my life) have had a constant chest pain since the procedure dr said it was healing from the procedure 2 weeks ago the pain was so bad went to e.r. had scar tissue on one stent and had another one put in just went for my check up STILL getting pain!! dr says zocor will give you SOME aches and pains this is a chest pain and travels down my arms some times with a headache also experiencing the extra gas this is no way to live but my cardioligst say i need to be on it to prevent the stents from clogging any suggestions for an alternative
