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 a bit worried because my heart rate is around 113 BPM even when I'm just resting, but my ECG came back normal. I have to admit, I'm pretty lazy and don't get much exercise, and my breathing gets heavier when I try to run. Could my lifestyle be causing this high heart rate, or should I be concerned about something else?
A heart rate of 113 BPM at rest can be caused by various factors, including physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle. Since you mentioned that your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be due to a heart condition. The increase in respiratory rate on running suggests that your body is not efficiently adapting to physical exertion. To address this issue, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and physical activity. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate and improve cardiovascular health. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication regimen.
