Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns. Medicine duration depends on the disease they are given for and mostly these are to be takes. lifelong in cases like you have. Regarding time frame, it is never a fixed time. It varies from patient to patient. You have had how many vessels blocked partially/or/fully and how many of them are treated via angioplasty, is also the major concern in calculating time of recovery. Usually two to three weeks are enough to see if there is any post-angioplasty complications. After that you have to observe some directions given by the cardiac surgeon and you are just goid to go. Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime.
