When my mom was diagnosed with blocked arteries,
several docs said they would not go thru with the
surgery because her condition and age (82) was
not likely to support good recovery. One young
doc charged thru and did the surgery (not by-pass,
but stents to enlarge the blocked area) and she
had a pace maker too. she did not survive for many
weeks after the surgery procedure. Sounds like the
best thing for your mom would be to lose weight
and lose the cigs. any thing else would be complicated
by those two obstacles no matter what.
I heard of Co Q 10 whcih claims to help circulation.
dissolve blockages, and have other positive attributres.
Some swear by it, and cliam increased energy, well-
being , etc.
Your mom's situation sounds quite complicated with many factors involved. I wish you luck in your choices and I hope
all goes well.
how old is she?
