Hello, I have gone through your query. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Basically you will need some medicines Life long. You had BMV almost 10 yrs back, and you have irregular heart rhythm i.e. Atrial Fibrillation. So you have to continue Citron to prevent clot formation and stroke.to keep rate under control you will need Register group of medicine. You may discuss discontinuing lanolin if your heart function is normal. I suggest you to get your Echo done to look for any restenosis or leakage of mitral valve requiring any further intervention. My best wishes Chat Doctor.
