Hello, thanks for posting a question.
Yes, you should be taking medication. Please avoid stopping medications without consent from your Doctor, it is not advisable. I usually treat my patients with beta blockers like bisoprolol in this type of situation but I advise you to discuss with your physician if maybe he could give an alternative. Best regards
