Why does my heart rate spike to 168 beats per minute during brisk walking and why do I experience shortness of breath at rest, even though my heart ultrasound and ECG are normal, and what should I do after stopping my blood pressure medication, Concor 5mg, because it made my blood pressure drop too low?

What you are experiencing is likely a rebound effect from stopping Concor (bisoprolol) suddenly. This medication slows your heart rate, and stopping it abruptly can cause your heart rate to spike temporarily, even during light exercise like brisk walking, and can cause shortness of breath. Please do not worry, but it is very important to contact your prescribing doctor right away. They can help you safely taper off bisoprolol or find a more suitable alternative for your blood pressure without causing these sudden spikes. Please rest and avoid strenuous activity until you speak with them.
