I had a heart attack (mid wall variant takotsubo syndrome) on 15th April and am booked in for a root canal treatment on 3rd may, is it safe to go ahead and have this done.  I am 62 years of age, am on one aspirin daily and half a 50mg metoprolol tablet twice a day.  I was on medication for hypertension before this happened.
Hello...read through your query...n I must say that if I was your doctor I would have waited for 3 months more to do root canal treatment if u don't have pain now.but it's fine if v do it now also.my treatment is to wait for 6 months after heart attack.different doc had different treatment modalities...it's fine if u do it now. And regarding your aspirin and metoprolol it's better to consult your cardiologist b4 doing root canal BCO some cases u have to stop these Chat Doctor. ...it all depends on your body and your cardiologist will b knowing it.....hope u got some help from my reply.have a nice healthy day
