Detailed Answer:
Hello
Here are the answers to your queries.
1. Deplatt is superior to ecospirin better to continue with that.
2. No there won’t be.
3. Triglycerides are just slightly deranged and can be taken care with dietary modifications. No need to increase the dosage.
4. As your last checkup was in 2017 so you should personally consult a cardiologist and get a repeat ecg and echo done for proper assessment.
I hope I have answered all your doubts.
