I've noticed that almost every time I shout or scream while at church, I start feeling really lightheaded and dizzy, almost like I might pass out. It's like I have to close my eyes and hold onto something just to stay steady. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of something more? What's going on with my body when this happens?

The symptoms of lightheadedness, dizziness, and feeling like passing out after shouting or screaming at church may be related to a vasovagal response, a common condition where the nervous system overreacts to stress or excitement, causing a temporary drop in blood pressure and heart rate, and it's recommended to consult a md medicine to rule out other potential causes, such as dehydration, anxiety, or underlying heart conditions.

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

On top of that, my limbs are going numb pretty often, especially when I wake up. It's starting to worry me a bit. What could be causing all of this, and what should I do about it?
