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 noticing a warm sensation in my upper left chest, but there's no actual pain. It kind of comes and goes, and I'm getting a bit worried. Could this be something serious?

Probable diagnosis could be acid peptic disease

I've been noticing that my heart rate seems to spike all of a sudden whenever I get out of bed or even if I just switch sides while lying down. Is this something I should be worried about?

heart rate increases suddenly after changing positions may be due to a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It is recommended to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and doing exercises to improve blood flow such as leg raises and calf pumps. If symptoms persist, medications such as midodrine or fludrocortisone may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.
