The likely cause of my heart attack was spasm. I learned that calcium channel blockers are used because for that. I may have little choice. I already had detached retinas but dont know cause. Not sure its related. The detachment came a few months after covid shot.

I am taking one 10mg tab of amlodipine every day. I don’t know if that’s a high dose, I am going to have to talk to him about that.
Once again, thanks for all you do!
