I had a heart attack two years ago and underwent one stent placement, with a 45% valve blockage. I also had a stroke one year ago. I am diabetic, with cholesterol of 240 mg/dL and post-meal blood sugar of 300 mg/dL. I am not taking any medications currently and am experiencing erectile problems when my blood sugar rises. What should I do?

It sounds like you are managing several serious health conditions that require careful medical attention.
Given your history of a heart attack with stent placement, stroke, diabetes, high cholesterol (240 mg/dL), and very high post-meal blood sugar (300 mg/dL), it is crucial to start appropriate treatment without delay. Your erectile problems linked to high blood sugar also indicate the need for better diabetes control.
Here are important steps you should take:
Please do not delay seeking medical care. Starting prescribed medications and following up regularly with your doctors is vital to reduce the risk of further heart or brain events and improve your quality of life.
If you experience any new chest pain, weakness, sudden speech difficulty, or other stroke symptoms, seek emergency care immediately.
Your health is importantโplease consult your cardiologist and endocrinologist as soon as possible.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're dealing with a lot. To help me understand your situation better, could you please tell me your age and gender?
