Been Advised Life Long Medicines For Leak In Heart Wall. Will This Have Any Side Effect?

I received my echo results today. My doctor told me that the echo showed a slight leak in the heart wall. last year i had an angiogram and doctors said that my blood is thick and gave meds since then i am using meds. but since then i am feeling not well. i had echo last year also and leak was there but doctors did not said anything about that. Now i changed my doctor and now he said i have a leak in my heart wall and i have to take meds for all life. please suggests me is there any prb if i take meds for long time. i dont have sugar or BP. my age is 53 and my weight is around 110+.
