The three loading tablets used to prevent a heart attack are aspirin, clopidogrel, and atorvastatin. Aspirin and clopidogrel reduce blood clot formation, while atorvastatin stabilises cholesterol plaques in the blood vessels and helps protect the heart. These medicines should be taken only under a doctor?s advice.

Upper abdominal pain in a patient with a history of heart block may be related to heart problems and should be taken seriously. It is important to consult a doctor immediately for a thorough evaluation before starting treatment. Do not treat this as indigestion or take any medications without medical advice.
