Hi, Metolar XR: (Metoprolol), a betablocker used for hypertension can cause sexual dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Kindly read the side effect profile below: Transient effects include dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, tiredness, diarrhea, unusual dreams, ataxia, trouble sleeping, depression, and vision problems. It may also reduce blood flow to the hands and feet, causing them to feel numb and cold; smoking may worsen this effect. Serious side effects that are not to be tolerated for any length of time include symptoms of a very slow heartbeat (less than 50 bpm) (e.g. persistent dizziness, fainting, unusual fatigue), bluish discoloration of the fingers and toes, numbness/tingling/swelling of the hands or feet, sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction (impotence), hair loss, mental/mood changes, trouble breathing, cough, dyslipidemia, and increased thirst. Other highly unlikely symptoms include easy bruising or bleeding, persistent sore throat or fever, yellowing skin or eyes, stomach pain, dark urine, and persistent nausea. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness. Taking it with alcohol might cause mild body rashes and therefore is not recommended. Regarding TMT-- it is absolutely fine you can repeat the test, since the last one was done in 2007. All the medications you are taking works for hypertension and they are very much well tolerated by everyone. Consult your physician and keep him updated about your hypertension, so that medications can be changed according to the response. Always eat low salt and low fat diet. All the best

metolar XR is for hypertension and stabilizing angina,

Imdur is for angina

Ecosprin is coated aspirin and is used for thinning the blood and hence prevents clotting to save heart attack,and can cause hyper acidity.

@Maria,

Have you considered the option of switching medications? Severe side effects should not be taken lightly in the event that they become unmanageable or more permanent.

At this point, it may also be in your best interest to switch doctors, if your current physician can't be of help to you; possibly even get a second opinion from another doctor in your area, if you are able to.

You can view more information about this drugs side effects on the page for Metoprolol Details

I hope this info helps!

Also to mention, I do take coversyl 4 mg + ecospirin-av. My doctor diagnosed me with hypertension and some medications are given just as a precautionary measure for me. Please help...as I am really worried about my health condition. Also, I am not able to work as I constantly feel dizzy.
