I gained 20 lbs in 2 months. Same scenario no change in eating habits, exercise, etc. Asked my Dr. and a Pharmacist and they both tell me there is nothing chemically in the Metropolol that would make me gain weight. It has to be the medication what else? I am 69 yrs old and have weighed the same for 5+ yrs and now quickly 20lbs?

Hello, Betsey! How are you? Sorry about the weight gain.

And yes, beta blockers, such as Metoprolol can cause weight gain in some people that take them.

Have you talked to your doctor about it? It might be best for you to try a different medication.
