First confirm that your blood sugar and blood pressure is under control, heart rate is regular. Then do an ECG. See if you have breathlessness. If you have constant anginal chest pain, Ramipril, a bets blocker such as Meyoprolol in slowly incremental doses. But you should consult a cardiolgist urgently in this regard.

Clopidogrel is a blood thinner but its jot rhat bleeding will never stop ! There are even better n heavier blood thinners than clopidogrel. Effect starts to wear off in 24 hrs of stoppage albeit takes 5 days, but never stop on ur own !

Atorvas is a little more effective for controlling LDL and simvastatin is little more effective in increasing HDL.

lybrate-user, Lipicure tablet is given in a person who has increased lipid level (cholesterol) particularly total cholesterol, LDL & Triglycerides. In a person with diabetes most often there dyslipidemia (increased lipids). Therefore such a tablet is given. Fenofibrate is more often used when triglycerides are increased. Thanks.

Yes please continue both clopidogrel and ascard 75 mg. These are blood thinners required lifelong after cabg surgery. If discontinued then the risk of graft blockage is high.
