Yes, you should tell your doctor about any other over the counter meds. you are taking. I am sorry to hear that you had this HA after all you had already gone through so may other medical issues.. It just seems sometimes that life throws some real whoppers at a person. Overwhelming is an understatement. A second HA is less likely when you have had the problem corrected, the stint. It is when you fail to do the things you should, with medications, diet, "walking" that things don't always work out well. I have a friend that has several stints after a heart attack and is just doing wonderful, Be concerned, but don't be afraid. Just do all you can do to help yourself. I hope you heal OK, and that life is kinder to you in the future. ginnie
