I've been having these heart palpitations lately, like a fluttering feeling in my chest, and my local cardiologist said I should take met XL 25. I've done all the tests like ECG, Echo, and TMT and everything came out normal, but I'm really nervous about starting this medication. Can you tell me if it's okay to take and what side effects I should watch out for? I'm just really not sure about it.

Question

I've recently been switched from Telma 40 to Cardivas 3.25, and I'm a bit unsure about the dosage. Is Cardivas 3.25 a lower dose compared to Telma 40, or are they about the same? Would you be able to clarify this for me?
