I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been taking Concor Cor 2.5 mg every day for the past couple of months to help with chest pain, not for high blood pressure. I'm feeling better now and was wondering how I can stop taking it safely without causing any problems? I'd really appreciate your advice!

I'm really concerned about my blood work. Am I at risk for a cardiac arrest at any moment? My lipoprotein A is 53 mgdl, HS CRP is 4.3 mgL, total cholesterol is 222 mgdl, triglycerides are 212 mgdl, VLDL cholesterol is 42.48 mgdl, and non-HDL cholesterol is 172.2 mgdl. My TSH is 6.93, and I also have hypertension. Are these numbers something to be really worried about?
Your Lipoprotein A level is 53mgdl, HS-CRP is 4.3mgL, Total Cholesterol is 222 mgdl, Triglycerides are 212 mgdl, VLDL Cholesterol is 42.48 mgdl, NON HDL Cholesterol is 172.2 mgdl, and TSH is 6.93. These values indicate a higher risk for cardiovascular issues. To manage your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiac events, I recommend starting a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, for hypertension, you can take Amlodipine 5mg once daily. It is important to follow up with regular check-ups and lifestyle modifications to improve your overall cardiovascular health."

I'm a bit confused and worried about my recent 2D echo results. It says my EF is 56, but everything else seems normal. Is this EF number something to be concerned about or is it within the normal range? Just wanted to make sure I understand what this means for my heart health.
Your EF (Ejection Fraction) of 56% is considered normal. An EF between 50-70% is generally considered normal for a healthy adult. No treatment is usually required for a normal EF.
