I've been dealing with sinus tachycardia, and my doctor suggested I try met xl 12.5 mg. I've been on it for a few days, and while my resting pulse rate has dropped a bit from 100 to 90 bpm, it still jumps to around 105-110 bpm when I'm doing normal activities. I'm wondering if it's safe to up my dose from 12.5 mg to 25 mg, and how long would be okay to stay on that higher dose?

It is not recommended to adjust the dosage of Met XL without consulting your doctor. Increasing the dose from 12.5mg to 25mg should only be done under the supervision of a healthcare professional. They will assess your condition and determine if a dosage adjustment is necessary. Please consult your doctor for proper evaluation and guidance on the dosage adjustment and duration of treatment

I've noticed that my heart rate has been at 120 for the past three hours. I feel okay overall, just dealing with a minor cold. Could you help me understand why this is happening?
A heart rate of 120+ beats per minute can be elevated due to various reasons, including stress, anxiety, fever, dehydration, or certain medications. Since you mentioned having a minor cold, it is possible that your elevated heart rate is a response to the infection. To help lower your heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter medication like **Acetaminophen** for fever and discomfort associated with the cold. Additionally, ensure you stay well-hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation.
