Hello Tob123

A big warm welcome to the forum and the help and information that I hope will be of use to you.

Most on here are not medically trained and the few that are would not be able to diagnosis your problems on here.

But most of us go through a similar recovery so someone will have your symptoms and be able to tell you how they manage it.

Your list of drugs are standard heart issue ones that many of us are on and there could be a link to your lower back pain.

But and it’s a big but with pain/ ache in your lower back that has just come on you should contact your Dr or your Heart team, especially if it doesn’t ease off, because of the internal organs that are around that area.

Good luck with it all.
