I'm a bit worried about my grandma's medication. She's been on Aten 50, but the pharmacy gave us Losar 25 mg instead. Are these two the same? Can she safely switch to using the Losar now?

Question

I was on beta blocker Inderal 10 for about two years, stopping last October. Is it okay for me to do regular exercise or hit the gym now?

I'm wondering how often I should be getting an ECG and an ECHO done. I had them both last year and everything was normal at that time. Now that I've been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which is under control, and Im also taking a 25mg beta blocker to keep my blood pressure in check, do you think I should be repeating these tests anytime soon?
