Brief Answer:
No major reason for worry as you have got only 4days
Detailed Answer:
Hi ,
Ideally you could have carried as its impossible to get the medicines just like that anywhere and they are very expensive as well. Since you are two years away from angioplasty and reports are normal there should not be worry on not taking the prax. Also your metaprolol is in such low dose it should be fine to skip it for few days and restart immediately after coming back.
Meanwhile if you have any chest pain, palpitation or any other symptoms you need to go and see the doctor locally immediately.
