Isosorbide Mn Er 30 Mg

I did not remember if I had taken the above pill this morning so I took another pill -- that equals 60 MG. Did I do the right thing?

Does this medication also treat fatigue if it is related to a narrowing of a coronary artery? My husband's LAD has a small area of ischemia which has caused slight chest pain but he has been angina free every since his stress test which showed the above.
