I've been wondering about the medication I'm on since I was diagnosed back in January 2013 with a 70% blockage in the LAD due to a rupture plaque. For the past three years, I've been taking Telma H80, Nebicard 5, and Ecosprin av75 daily. I'm curious, how long will I need to continue taking these meds? Are there any additional precautions I should be considering? I walk a lot, about 6-7 km daily, and have no trouble climbing up 3-4 floors of stairs. I'm 40 years old, with a weight of 102 kg, and my blood reports are normal. What do you think?

I've been feeling really breathless for a week now, and it got noticeably worse this morning. Plus, there's this chest pain that came along with it. I haven't noticed any other symptoms, but it's starting to worry me. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way. Breathlessness and chest pain can be concerning symptoms, and its important to rule out any serious issues like a heart or lung condition. I recommend seeing a doctor as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation, including tests like an ECG or chest X-ray, to determine the cause.
