My husband had a heart attack 2 and half years ago and had two stents fitted,
April 2002 and Feb 2003.

He is doing well on Tildiem 200mg a day, Fenofibrate micro 200 mg a day,
Remilpril 10 mg a day, Simvastatin 10 mg a day and 75 mg Asprin.

His concern is, that when he checks his heart rate, just before getting
into bed, this is after gently moving around, his heart rate is only 41,
blood pressure was 144 over 78, although the blood pressure is not always
this high, but the heart rate is usually between 43 and 48. Is this OK?

Thank you.

Best Wishes
Chris
