Hello, none of the drugs you have mentioned will cause swelling, as it's a long time since angioplasty and it it was done after a heart attack, Do get a 2d echo cardiography done as we will get an idea of the heart pumping, if it's on lesser side making fine changes in the medication will help. Also get your hemoglobin done as you are on long term blood .
