I'm currently taking Olmezest 40, but it's getting really pricey. Should I switch to Olmetime 40 instead? What's the difference between the two?

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been diagnosed with sinus arrhythmia. My cardiologist gave me embeta xr to take for a month and after using it, I feel about 80% better. I'm wondering if I should keep taking the medicine for another month. I read online that sinus arrhythmia might not need any treatment and could just go away as I get older. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

Embeta XR is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is commonly used to treat various heart conditions, including arrhythmias. Since you have already experienced improvement with the medication, it would be advisable to continue taking it as prescribed by your cardiologist. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for the full duration of the treatment to ensure the best outcome. In this case, continuing Embeta XR for another month as prescribed would be beneficial for managing your sinus arrhythmia.
