Initially, I was on 25mg 2x daily. Then Dr moved me to 25mg, one time daily because my heart rate was at already at 60 bpm when it was time to take the 2nd dose. It all started in April 2020. I went to the ER due to fast heart rate and high blood pressure, I thought I was going to have a heart attack or drop dead. In retrospect, it may have been a panic attack or stage 2 or 3 hypertension, but still unsure what caused this. EKG and Blood labs at the Hospital were normal. The hospital sent me home with Metoprolol Tartrate 25 mg 2x per day for blood pressure. The metoprolol was extremely effective in reducing my heart rate after 35 minutes or so. I do also feel relaxed after taking it. It did not reduce blood pressure in the slightest. Later, Lisinopril 10mg (now 20mg) was added and took care of the blood pressure. I have had a stress test, an echocardiogram, and the 4-day heart monitor, all came back negative. When starting the metoprolol 2x daily and about 3 weeks thereafter, I felt dizziness, loss of appetite, variable heart rate, fatigue, brain fog, diarrhea, faintness, and new chest pain. I was moved to 25mg metoprolol tartrate once daily That I take at 6pm (3 months to present). After a while I have consistently felt nauseous, dizzy/lightheaded (and not just when I stand from sitting), feeling faint, fatigue, weakness | M | 33 | 4 months 25 1X day | 8/15/2020 | 3 | Afib, PVCs, unstable angina | Fatigue, aching arms, knees, hips, back, massive weight gain(45#), depression, anxiety, zero exercise tolerance, short of breath with minimal exertion, hungry constantly, gastric upset, indigestion, heart burn, increased gerd, bowel pain, gas, bloating ... | F | 58 | 5 years 50mg 2X day | 8/13/2020 |
