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.

We rushed her to the hospital and they did a High Sensitive Troponin I test. The report showed 2.9 ngL, but the normal range according to the lab is 19 ngL.

I'm dealing with high blood pressure and taking amlodipine. My doctor also gave me sertraline because I mentioned I was having anxiety attacks, but I'm not sure if that's what they really are or if they're related to my hypertension. When these episodes happen, it feels like I have a noise in my head, like static or the sound of the sea, and I get a weird sensation like I'm bouncing on springs, even when I'm just sitting. It also occurs when I'm walking. Is this connected to my medications, or should I be concerned about something else?
