Question

I'm dealing with high blood pressure issues linked to my hypertension. Is it alright if I switch and take Metoprolol 25 mg x 2 tablets twice daily instead of Metoprolol Tartrate 50 mg twice daily?

Yes, you can take Metoprolol Succinate 25 mg (brand name: Toprol XL) twice daily as a substitute for Metoprolol Tartrate 50 mg. Just ensure to follow the prescribed dosage and frequency as directed by your healthcare provider.

Question

I've been experiencing this sharp pain and tightness in my chest, and it sometimes feels more like stabbing. It's not constant - sometimes it's there, sometimes not. It's weird because I also feel it around my back. On top of that, I'm always tired and feel drowsy. Should I be concerned about this?

Question

I'm looking at my report and it notes that I have a sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 81 and marked right axis deviation. I'm a bit anxious and just want to understand if this is normal or if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help clarify what this means for my health?

Question

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with an irregular heartbeat pretty much all the time for the last 23 years. What could be causing this?
