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!

View allI've been feeling this slight pain on the right side of my chest, kind of close to the center, for about 45 days now. I also have some acidity issues. Should I be worried about this?
The pain in the center of your chest could be due to acid reflux causing heartburn. I recommend taking antacids like Tums (500mg) as needed for relief from acidity. Additionally, you can take Omeprazole (20mg) once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate symptoms. Make sure to avoid spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help manage your acidity problem. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek further medical evaluation.

I've been told I have an Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block, but I'm really concerned because I'm experiencing irregular heartbeats quite often, lasting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. My heart rate slows down, skips beats, speeds up, and this cycle keeps repeating. I've had an echo, and my blood tests are fine. The first ECG showed an abnormal sinus rhythm, but the more recent ones only show the IRBBB with a normal sinus rhythm. Im not stressed or anxious, so I cant figure out what might be causing this. What could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of arrhythmia, given your symptoms of irregular heartbeats with variations in speed. Since your echo and blood tests came back normal, and your ECGs have shown Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) with a normal sinus rhythm, it's important to further investigate the cause of your arrhythmias. One possible reason for your symptoms could be Atrial Fibrillation (AF), which can sometimes be difficult to detect on ECGs. I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about possibly wearing a Holter monitor or undergoing a cardiac event monitor to capture your heart's electrical activity over an extended period. This can help in identifying any underlying arrhythmias such as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In the meantime, to help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a low dose under the guidance of your healthcare provider. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the frequency of irregular heartbeats. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg to 50mg once daily, but your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you based on your individual health needs.

I'm a bit worried about my dad's recent test results. The doctor recommended a 2D echo and a treadmill test for him. The 2D echo came back normal, but the treadmill test showed a positive stress result. I've heard that only 4 out of 10 times, these TMT tests are accurate, which is kinda freaking me out. If one test is normal and the other one isn't, does that mean there's something to be concerned about? Could you shed some light on this?
If TMT is normal Better to under screening Angiogram,do not neglect,visit Cardiologist for the same
