I'm really concerned about my heart, as I've had a PTCA stent placed to my right coronary artery and right internal artery. But lately, I've been experiencing some wet palpitations now and again. I have Type 2 diabetes and hypertension and I'm 56 years old. Should I be worried about these palpitations, or is this somewhat normal for someone in my situation? What should I do about it?

View allI've just had an ECG, and the doctor mentioned there were some issues. They suggested I get an ECHO, which thankfully turned out to be normal. Now they've advised me to go for an angiography. I'm a bit uncertain about going for another test. Could you help me understand why it might be necessary? Also, they've prescribed me Clopidogrel IP 75 mg and Atorvastatin. Could you explain what these medications are for and if there are any side effects I should be aware of? I'm feeling a little lost here and would appreciate some guidance.
yes to continue all the medications as advised ,, angiography as a prognosis is advised..

I'm trying to understand the differences between Cocor 5 and Inderal 40. Are they used for the same purpose, and if so, which one is considered safer with fewer side effects?
Yes, Cocor 5 and Inderal 40 are both beta blockers used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders. In terms of safety and side effects, Inderal 40 (Propranolol) is generally considered to have fewer side effects compared to Cocor 5 (Bisoprolol). Inderal 40 is often preferred in patients with certain heart conditions or anxiety disorders due to its well-established safety profile. The usual dosage for Inderal 40 is 40mg once daily, while the dosage for Cocor 5 is 5mg once daily.
