I'm taking some meds for high blood pressure, like METOLAR XR and TELMA 20, and I have a TMT test for a pre-employment check-up coming up. I'm a bit worried because I really can't afford to fail this test. Do I need to stop taking these meds on the day of the test, or will they affect the results? Can you let me know what I should do?

You can continue taking METOLAR XR and TELMA 20 on the day of your TMT test. These medications are commonly used for high blood pressure and should not significantly affect the results of the test. It is important to follow your regular dosage schedule. Good luck with your pre-employment medical test!"

Every time I get an ECG, it shows sinus tachycardia. I dont have any known heart issues, but my heart always beats faster than normal. Should I be worried about this?

Sinus tachycardia is a condition where your heart beats faster than normal due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or physical activity. In most cases, it is not a cause for concern. However, if you are experiencing persistent symptoms or have underlying heart conditions, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to manage your symptoms by reducing stress, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and practicing relaxation techniques.
