We have consulted 2 Cardioligists before and after pregnancy also.. they have done ECG and ECHO test and they said that heart functioning is very good...pulse rate is fluctuating and the BP also fluctuating while standing..Endroconologist advised to take propranolol 20 mg 3 times a day and cardiologist advised to take amlodopine 2.5 mg per day...can she take both medicines simultaneously..
