I'm a 75-year-old man and I'm feeling a bit worried. Back in 1977, I had a T-wave inversion and recently, I developed postural hypotension. My cardiologist checked my ECG, 2D echo, and TMT, and everything seemed normal except for the old T-wave inversion in V4, V5, and V6. He prescribed me to take Deplatt CV once a day, which I've been doing since May 2017. Lately, I've come across some pretty scary stuff about clopidogrel on the internet, and it has me feeling anxious. Could you please let me know if it's really safe for me?

View allI'm trying to figure out how long the results of a treadmill test (TMT) are valid. If I keep up a pretty active lifestyle, when would be a good time to consider getting another TMT done for just a regular check-up? Would love any advice on that!

I've been on Amlodipine 5mg for a couple of weeks and have started feeling tightness in my chest and like I might faint. I've had hypertension since taking Telmikind AM twice a day and I'm also on Norethisterone 10 mg. I'm really concerned about these symptoms. Could these medications be causing these side effects, and what should I do about it? Would really appreciate some guidance here.
"Based on your symptoms of tightness in the chest and fainting, it is possible that you are experiencing side effects from the Amlodipine and Telmisartan combination. These medications are commonly used to treat hypertension, but in some cases, they can cause adverse reactions. I recommend that you consult your healthcare provider to discuss alternative medications for your high blood pressure. It is important to address these symptoms promptly to avoid any complications. In the meantime, you should also monitor your blood pressure regularly and avoid any activities that could be dangerous if you experience fainting spells. I don't know the specific medication that would be suitable for you, as it would depend on your individual health profile and any underlying conditions you may have."
