Hello,
I see that you've been taking medications for high blood pressure in an early age and I suppose you have been visited and these that you have is idiopathic hypertension and not from a secondary cause.
I suggest you do an ECG and a cardiac sonography and after that, you can start a beta blocker for your rapid heart rate, like bisoprolol( not Toprol).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
