Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

In these circumstances although in my opinion I would have told a similar patient in my clinic that he is taking Ok medicine until no diagnosis is made, but I would still suggest you to visit your cardiologist and get checkup.

He might get your ECGs and other investigations done to readjust medication , who will benefit you better.

Although medicine you are using is expected to control your BP and palpitations but cause of palpitations needs to be determined and medications need to be reviewed after checkup properly by a cardiologist so I would suggest you to visit your doctor ASAP.

I would also suggest you not to stop any medications suggested by your doctor by yourself it can get life threatening for you. Heart is not something to be neglected.

stay safe

I hope this answered your question, a
if you have more please feel free to ask.

Regrads.
