I had a CABG surgery back in 2006, and I've been on a bunch of medications since then, like Ecosprin Gold 20mg, Nebicard 2.5mg, Gelam AM 40mg, Nikoran 10, and Nitrocontin 6.4. Is it alright for me to take Nikoran and Nitrocontin at the same time?

Question

I've noticed my SPO2 levels usually range from 96 to 98, but sometimes they drop to 90 before going back up to 96. I'm not sure which reading I should pay attention to. Also, my BPM is consistently over 100. Meanwhile, my mom, who's 51, has a normal BPM between 72 and 80. I'm worried if these symptoms could be related to any heart or lung issues, especially since I haven't had COVID. Could you give me some advice on this?

Question

I've been feeling some pressure and uneasiness in my heart for the past week, and it usually lasts about an hour. Sometimes it feels a bit better when I cough, but it's only a temporary relief. I'm not experiencing chest pain or getting tired when I work out, which is puzzling. Could this be related to stomach gas or something else? I also got my lipid profile checked, and things seem a bit off with high triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol. What could be causing these symptoms, and are there any changes I should make to my diet?

Question

I'm a bit worried about heart health and wanted to ask. What are some early signs I should watch out for that might suggest a heart attack? And how long do those symptoms usually last before it gets serious? Also, I've heard about angina and heart attacks, but I'm not quite sure how they're different. Could you explain that for me?
