Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Sorry to hear of the sad incident. After that all your tests are normal i think your heart racing is because of anxiety and not a heart problem. I would advise you should see a pscatrist to aasess you in details. you would probably need treatment for your anxiety , once your anxiety is treated , I think you can safely then quit taking concor. However it should not be stopped immediately rather tapered gradually.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
