Something's Missing: You're not on nearly enough meds for someone who just got a stent. Why aren't you on prasugrel (effient), ticlopidine (ticlid), or clopidogrel (plavix)? Was the stent recent? Hmmm - may need to talk to your cardiologist to sort this out. Too many details needed for healthtap.

Heart attack: If you are taking Isordil (isosorbide dinitrate) or another Nitroglycerin preparation this can be a cause for your headache, likewise a calcium blocker can also cause headache.
