Im on plavix and wanting to get back into Mixed Martial Arts. Is this a bad idea?

Mixed Martial Arts
JC asked:


Hello,

Just a year and a half ago, I had 3 stents placed in my heart. Before the surgery, I was into kickboxing. I’ve heard that a sideaffect of Plavix is internal bleeding. With that said, is returning to kickboxing a bad idea? Would other sports which involve less contact make more sense ie brazilian jujitsu? Thanks for the help.
