I'm really concerned about my 6-month-old daughter who has a 4 mm perimembranous VSD. Is there a chance that this VSD will close on its own, or should I be worried about any complications?

I'm worried because my cardiologist told me to take Met XL 25 for my fast heart rate, but I accidentally bought Met XL 50 instead and took it this morning. Will taking the 50 mg dose be harmful to my health? Can you help me understand if I should be concerned?

taking Met XL 50 instead of Met XL 25 once should not cause significant harm to your health. However, it is important to stick to the prescribed dosage for optimal treatment. I recommend informing your cardiologist about the mix-up and following their guidance on whether to continue with Met XL 50 or switch back to Met XL 25 at the correct dosage.
