Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

     It is difficult to assess life expectancy - it depends upon ejection fraction of heart / valves’ integrity and function / wall of the chambers / arrhythmia, their nature and frequency / renal function / response to medicines .     The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.
     You have not stated your personal habits, family history, or co-morbidities, even age or gender!
     Your life expectancy is likely to be long indeed ...
     The medicines are appropriate... The cough could be from ramipril – can be changed to another class (ARB instead of ACEI) / Shoulder pain could be from Dressler’s or periarthritis...
     You seem to be depressed and may benefit from Psychological assessment and assistance
     You are in good hands / you need further follow up and a few investigations... / Continue with your cardiologist

Take care     
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
