Q. Although I am only 58 years old, I have had several stents implanted to open some severely blocked coronary arteries. I used to love to lift weights, but stopped after getting the stents. My blood pressure is good, and I take the usual medications — a statin, aspirin and clopidogrel. I want to resume my weight lifting but worry that it could shake free a clot and cause a heart attack. Is that possible?
