Rough Times

I was lucky and didn’t have to have open heart surgery. Dr said that my body formed too many platelets and my blood thickened from the high heat conditions and caused a clot which he was able to remove and install a stint
That kind of doesn't make any sense?? When you have a clot they usually give you blood thinners to dissolve the clot. They only use a stint when you have artery blockage from heart disease? Of course, I'm no expert, but I also had a heart attack and was wondering if you changed your lifestyle to help things along?? Just trying to help.
