I've been taking 1.25mg of Concor Cor since January 25, 2022, but I want to stop. It's only for panic attacks, not for any heart issues. I've got other meds for panic attacks now. How can I safely quit the Concor Cor?

View allI'm trying to understand my echo report and I'm a bit concerned. It says my cardiac size is normal with some terms like Lvdd being 5.4 cm, La at 3.8 cm, and mild lvh. Then it mentions good lv systolic function and an EF range of 55 to 60. Plus, normal right systolic function and no abnormal wall motion. Should I be worried about anything here? Just looking for some clarity on what all this means for my heart health.
Your echo report indicates that you have Cardiac Hypertrophy with normal left ventricular size (LVDD 5.4 cm) and mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Your left atrium is also within normal size (LA 3.8 cm). The report shows good left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction (EF) of 55-60%. Additionally, your right ventricular systolic function is normal with no abnormal wall motion. Based on the information provided, you may consider medications such as: - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help reduce the workload on the heart and manage blood pressure. - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce the heart's workload. - Diuretics like Furosemide 40mg once daily to help reduce fluid buildup in the body and manage symptoms of heart failure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with chest pain for the past three months that comes and goes, and it often spreads to my left shoulder, arm, and even my jaw. Sometimes I get dizzy too. I had COVID before, and now I'm also experiencing some breathing issues since last week. I saw a cardiologist, and the ECG, trop test, and chest X-ray all showed nothing unusual. I had an echo and a TMT done today. Can you help me understand what's going on? What could be causing my symptoms if all these tests are normal?
Based on your symptoms and the tests you have undergone, it seems like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina or coronary artery disease. Since your ECG, troponin test, chest X-ray, echo, and TMT are normal, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily to help reduce the risk of heart attack, and medications like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to manage cholesterol levels. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be taken as needed for chest pain relief. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking (if applicable), and managing stress to improve your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
