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!"

I'm curious about when to take Ecosprin AV75. I've heard it might be better to take it at night before bed, but can it be taken in the morning as well? Is there a significant difference, or does one time work better than the other? I'd love some guidance on this.

it is necessary to take the tablet at bedtime only.

I've just got the COVAXIN and I'm a 21-year-old male at 80kg and 165cm. Since getting the shot, I've been feeling some discomfort in my chest area. I've been checking my heart rate, and it's averaging around 100 bpm, but I've also seen it spike to 110, 120, and even 130. I'm starting to get a bit worried about what this means. What should I do?
