No adverse physical effects. | This drug worked well for me with minimal side effects. It became a part of my life. Mental gymnastics worked well for brain fog. | M | 63 | 4 years 50 MG 2X day | 5/5/2014 Patient History | 3 | Had a tachycardia | Taking Metoprolol i had many side effects. My hands and feets would get cold just feelin tired throughout the day. And my Bp would drop and having me feelin extermely out of it, the worst part i hate i would start feelin dizzy and weak. | M | 25 | 6 months 0.5 | 5/22/2014 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | Weezing in lungs, as if I had asthma, which I did not. Out of breath when I tried to exercise, weakness in left arm, Tiredness, Weight gain, Belly Fat, weakness in joints.. Symptoms were lessoned when I took only Half of my 25 mg's a day and it did not make my BP change in any way.. A little goes a long way, as people are overdosed on their medications. And most of the time people do NOT! need as much as they are taking. | When I was in my mid thirty's after having 4 children, I began to have a belly and I was gaining weight and my BP was rising slowly. And in my late 40's into my 50's. My BP was up in the mid 200 BP level. So the BP drug Metoporol brought it down to an average level in the 160's to 180's. Then I met a excellent Gyno and he checked my Estrogen and Progesterone levels and found they were both VERY LOW!! What I have NOW! realized, that before, when my BP was rising, that my Progesterone had been depleting. Low Progesterone constitutes high blood pressure.. Same in a MAN! also and low Progesterone, constitutes Low Testosterone, no sex drive, tired etc. and low Progesterone, contributes to Prostate Cancer, becomes Estrogen dominant, very bad!. I have been taking BI-EST NATURAL Estrogen 1.25 mg which is a level perfect for me. I started with 25mg Concentrated Natural Yam Progesterone, only a little change in BP, so tried 50 mg normal BP 117/72, so I tried 75 mg and it dropped my BP so Low, almost to dangerous BP levels in high 90's/high 60's. Danger Zone is 90/60. I figure it is because I am still taking 5 mg's of Metoporol and trying to WEAN myself off this BP drug, so I am going back to the 50 mg's for now, until I am off Metoporol, then I will be able to judge accurately, either 50mg or 75mg, which one will be my perfect set level for ME! but just 5 mg's is causing me a lot of grief, the yolk of my chest stings and burns inside, which causes like a soreness, feel like I am over a | F | 4 years 25 MG 1X day | 5/22/2014 | 1 | Angina | BAD DRUG!!!! | F | 57 | 2 days 50 MG | 5/25/2014 | 5 | Tachycardia | No side effects.
