Thank You [/INST] Hello, he can certainly resume daily walk until he gets shortness of breath or chest pain, he can also Chat Doctor.  Plavix needs to be taken up to 3 years then he can alone be on Aspirin. It basically keeps blood thin and avoid stent blockage.  He should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. </s>
