IAL Maths vs Physics for medicine

I just got my AS grades and I got a higher UMS in physics than Maths so IDK which to choose to complete for year 13 (I am doing edexcel IAL btw). I seem to be more interested in physics but i have a feeling maths would be easier ti get an A in.

Do you think you'd be able to stick with Maths to see it through? If you're likely to lose motivation then it might be better to stick with a subject you enjoy more.

Have you checked subject entry requirements for medicine at the universities you might want to study at?

I don’t dislike Maths so yeah I could see it through. I just don’t know if it’s easier than physics or not cause if not i would’ve picked the one with higher UMS. As for the entry requirements most require 3A’s or 1A* and 2As at most, so i would need an A in the third subject (maths/physics).
