Yes you should.I had a HA last June, since then Ive had an appointment at the cardiology depart where they amended my medication, three blood tests at our local surgery to check my liver function, cholesterol etc and a "healthy heart" check at my local surgery where we discussed life style, medicine usage and compliance, they also measured my BP and weight.....this will be an annual review.
