I'm 21 and I've been on Concor Cor 2.5mg since May 2018. I'm wondering if there's a way to stop taking it for good. I've attached my 2D echo results. Can you tell me if it's possible to withdraw from this medication permanently?

View allI'm wondering if you can help me understand what's going on with my blood pressure. It's been fluctuating a lot, sometimes shooting up to 180 over 110, and my pulse rate gets really high too. My heart and sugar levels are fine, but this blood pressure issue is worrying me. Do you have any advice or medication suggestions to help stabilize it?

I'm really worried after getting my recent heart test results. It mentioned ischemic heart disease and moderate LV systolic dysfunction with an LVEF of 44. There was also something about RWMA being present and hypokinesia in the LCX territory. What does all that really mean for my heart health? How serious is this, and what should I be doing next?
Ischemic heart disease with moderate LV systolic dysfunction, LVEF 44%, and RWMA present along with hypokinesia seen in the LCX territory can be managed with medications such as: - Aspirin 75-150mg daily - Clopidogrel 75mg daily - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25-50mg twice daily - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril 2.5-5mg daily - Statins like Atorvastatin 20-40mg daily These medications can help improve heart function and reduce the risk of further complications.

I'm really worried because I started with heart pain, and then the next day, I got this really bad pain in my left upper abdomen. I had an ECG done, and they didn't find anything unusual, and my stomach scan was clear too. But I keep getting these chest pains, mostly at night, and sometimes there's this pain in my shoulder blade that only lasts a few minutes. I'm too scared to tell my parents about all this. Can you tell me what's going on?
based on your symptoms of chest pain, left upper abdominal pain, and shoulder blade pain, along with normal ECG and abdominal scan results, it is important to consider the possibility of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a potential cause of your symptoms. I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor such as Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief of chest pain. It is also important to avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help reduce acid reflux symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management.
