hi it is not good to stop the medications until & unless you are advised by your cardiologist. that too with already placed stent both metoprolol & lipitor are very important drugs ( to control the heart rate & cholesterol levels) as of now you should also be started on blood thinners. this EKG findings are not be worried. most of the cardiac problems are not detected on the EKG. I SUGGEST YOU TO VISIT YOUR CARDIOLOGIST FOR THE CARDIAC CHECK UP,THE EARLIER THE BETTER All the best take care
