I'm really concerned because my Echo report says IAS and IVS are intact, and I'm not entirely sure what that means in relation to my health. My blood pressure's been high at 150100, and I'm just trying to figure out if that's connected somehow. Could you help me understand what's going on?

echo shows IAS abd IVS intact means both IAS and IVS are not damaged...Antihypertensives are indicated for the control of hypertension..ACE inhibitors are advised

I've been noticing that my heart is beating really fast and sometimes skips a beat, and it started about three weeks ago. I just turned 18 and have been masturbating a lot lately; I'm wondering if that's connected. I had an ECG done, and the doctor said my heart is fine, but it doesnt feel normal to me. My heart's never done this before. What steps can I take to get my heart rate back to normal?

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?
