Brief Answer:
You can stop Amtas 5 mg as advised.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir.
Thank you for asking ask a doctor service.
I have gone through your query and reports with diligence. You can stop Amtas 5 and continue Betacard 50 as advised. After stopping regularly monitor your blood pressure morning and evening. After 1 week from stopping Amtas 5 if the blood pressure is stable then you can go on with Betacard alone.
Also get an ECG and Echocardiogram to know the exact status of your heart.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
