I'm really worried because last night my pulse rate was 130 after dinner, and I ended up taking Metocard XL 25 before heading to the hospital. They did an ECG and just sent me back home. But today, I've been feeling the same way. What should I do? Any suggestions?

It seems like you are experiencing a high pulse rate. Metocard XL 25 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker medication. In this case, you can continue taking Metocard XL 25 as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you may also consider lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, avoiding caffeine, and getting regular exercise. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
