Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

You should continue this treatment for at least one year and than you should discuss with your doctor about continuing the treatment. If you were my patient i would recommend to repeat again the following examinations after 1 year:
- cardiac echo
- TMT
If the TMT will be positive again I would recommend to do angiography to definitely exclude any coronary artery blockage.

In these case you should take the treatment through entire your life.

You are experiencing excessive menstrual bleeding because you are taking Clopidogrel.

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!

Hi back,

If you miss a dose of medications, it wouldn't have any impact on your health. However, you should take the dose whenever you remember it.

It's not normal to have the pain every day and you should discuss with your doctor about the possibility of doing angiography to definitely exclude cardiac problems.
