What Needs To Be Done To Overcome The Feeling Of Tension And Fluttering Intermittently Around The Heart At Night?
The last week I've been experiencing tension and fluttering intermittently around my heart at night. My pulse and bp are 55 and 125/86. I'm a runner who had a stent placed in my left coronary descending artery July 2013. It is a bare metal stent. I am type one diabetic too (A1C of 7.1), last check. I take 75 mg clopigogrel, 12.5 mg metrol tartrate, and baby aspirin in the morning. I take 10 mg lisinprol, 1000 units fish oil, 100 mg COQ10, and 12.5 mg metrol tartrate at night. I am pain free and energetic. Any suggestions?
