I'm having some trouble with leg pain when I try to climb stairs, even just to the first floor. The pain seems to be worse in my calf muscle and I end up feeling really tired afterward. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a sign of a bigger issue, and what might help ease the pain?

View allI've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side where my heart is, and sometimes it even happens on the right side. It doesn't stop there though; I've noticed random pains around my body, especially in my left arm and a bit in my left shoulder. I went to the doctor, and she told me my hearts fine and suggested it might be Acid Reflux. But I'm still worried because I've read that pain in the left arm and shoulder can signal a heart attack. Should I be concerned or look out for anything else?

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
