I am Chinese, age 69; had heart murmur since young; had atrial fibrilation 5 yrs ago and has been under amtas-10 and cardiprin for several yrs now. My health seems OK. I go walking uphill and can walk up steep steps-as many as 300 steps. I do regular walking, swimming; play table tennis. My wife ithinks its unnecessary to visit the hospital cardiologist who only check on my cholesterol and blood pressure each time I visit him and continues prescribing Amtas-10 & cardiprin. She thinks that I sh only visit cardiologist if there is symptom or just visit GP for general check up. My concern is re: taking long term medicine and its side effects and if I should take her advise re: visiting cardiologist.
