Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Firstly, since she has a heart problem, all her medications should be changed only after consultating cardiologist in person because we can miss certain things online. Here we can provide you general advice.
Firstly, with low heart function, she should consume less salt and fluid restrictions like less water, tea, coffee etc as low as possible. Also, Dytor plus instead of taking half twice, it's better to go full tablet once daily in the morning so this will reduce frequency of urination at night.
With CAG, chest pain is not related to heart so should not be worried about it. Also, with normal CAG, clopivas is not necessary.
Attempt should be made to increase her heart function. Now, there is option of new medicine Vymada which helps in heart function improvement in most of the patients, but it's costly. Alternatively, if you don't afford, she may have telmisartan. Both these medicines reduce bp and also improve heart function. And she should continue cardivas as well which also helps in heart function improvement or slowing decline. So, both problems will be solved. so visit nearby cardiologist for the medicines.
Also, being on thyroxine of 50 ug, tsh is elevated. So, you should get dose of thyroxine increased.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
