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've been experiencing some fluctuations in my blood pressure and pulse rate. Sometimes my blood pressure goes to 9060, and my pulse hits 112, but other times, my pulse rate drops to around 60. I'm really wondering if this is something normal. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've been feeling this burning sensation in my breast, mostly on the left side, and it even goes into my back sometimes. It occasionally spreads down my leg too. Should I be worried about this or is it something common?
