Hi all, I'm 73 with no weight, diabetes or BP ailments. A CT scan at a Targeted Lung Check last year revealed mild emphysema and "coronary artery calcification". The ensuing ECG indicated heart block (LAFB). Following an ultrasound last Thursday (during which I was told that there was an anomaly that might be a clot), I was prescribed these:
Bisoprolol Fumarate 1.25mg. one daily. (beta blocker)
Inspra 25mg (eplerenone). One daily. (Aldosterone blocking agent)
Clopidogrel 75mg. One daily. (Anti platelet.)
Rampiril 2.5mg. one daily. ACE. (Lowers BP)
Atorvastatin 10mg. Two daily. (Statin)
I can provide more detail later but would appreciate advice on whether this is an unusual prescription. Thanks.

Hi there. Your best bet is to ask a pharmacist for qualified advice. However, anecdotally, my father who has just died at 98 years old was diagnosed with heart disease 25 years ago or more and had been taking that same lengthy list of meds -minus the Inspra - for at least the last decade to my knowledge and possibly before.
Hi again, SpeedyH, just to let you know that your post is reassuring not only to me but also to my wife. Thank you so much. And please accept my condolences on the passing of your father.
