You all start taking cayenne pepper and Hawthorne. Hawthorne heals the heart and cayenne pepper will stop a heart attack. People are been able to come off their meds from these two

It's understandable to feel worried about your upcoming procedure. Here are some key points about stents and heart disease that might help ease your concerns:

- Stents and Angioplasty: Stents are often used during angioplasty to keep arteries open. This procedure is less invasive than open-heart surgery.
- Awake During Procedure: Most people are awake during stenting, with medications to prevent pain and help you relax.
- Recovery: After angioplasty, you might spend a few hours or a night in the hospital and can usually return to normal activities within a week.
- Effectiveness: Angioplasty effectively opens coronary arteries in 90% of cases.

If you have any specific conditions like chronic kidney disease, heart failure, or uncontrolled diabetes, discuss with your cardiologist to evaluate the best options for you.
