I've been on that for over 20 years, as most of us with Lupus remain on it for our lifetimes. I have never heard of that particular side effect, so my educated guess is that they are unrelated and that stopping it isn't necessary.
That said, it isn't something that you have to "ramp down", so yes, you could stop it without expecting repercussions. Yes, definitely call the doctors ASAP, a hear rate issue isn't something to play with.
Let us know how it goes!
