Hi There
After going through the medical details provided by you i would like to suggest a 24 hr HOLTER MONITORING (24 hr ECG recording) on you to find out the rhythm abnormality going on with you. I would also like to reduce the dose of METOPROLOL or may be withhold it for a time being (if already on low dose) and continue LISINOPRIL.
I suggest you consult a cardiologist for opinion and also a PSYCHIATRIST for your fear/anxiety. Start doing meditation/Yoga in morning as that can help control your anxiety levels upto certain extent.
Good Luck
