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?

I'm trying to understand my dad's recent health reports, and I'm a bit worried. He's been dealing with a gastro esophageal ulcer, and he just had an ECO done. The report says he has IAS and IVS intact. Can you explain what this means? I'm really concerned about his condition and would love some clarity on this.

IAS and IVS intact in echo means that those part of the heart are not damaged

I'm a bit worried because every time I laugh, my chest hurts for a short while. I had COVID back in April and was in quarantine for 16 days. I hadn't smoked or had any drinks for a month after that, but I've started again recently. Could this be causing the chest pain?
