What do you mean "reliable"?

Customer replied 326 days and 8 hours ago.

My heart has been 100% re;iable for at least 82 years. Will it ever be reliable again?

Do I really need to take Simvastatin? Wiki suggests otherwise.

Your a fib will never go away but you can live a normal life.

Statins not necessary unless you have coronary artery disease or high cholesterol.

No aspirin and coumadin at the same time.

Please don't click "helped a little" or "I expected more" as this leaves negative feedback. If you aren't 100% satisfied, just click "continue conversation."

Thank you so much - good to be able to talk to a medic in my own home as it were. Am I sentenced to a daily dose of sapirin for the rest of my life? I am losing track of pills to take.
