I read your message and understood your medical problem.
First, I would like to emphasize that drugs must be taken when they are needed in order to improve your heart health. Their action to heart will be positive because drugs are prescribed considering the results they have in your health.
If you can send photos of your ECG and blood test it would be great. In this way, I could be able to analyze their results better.
You have irregular heartbeats and maybe a bradycardia. Normalizing your heart rate is very important because arrhythmias can be dangerous for your health.
My opinion is that your situation maybe is because of stress or any strong emotions your are experiencing recently. Take your own time in doing things and avoid stress triggers. Caffeinated drinks should be avoid until improvement.
Wish you good luck. Dr.Albana
