Metoprolol And Cold Feet

I have been taking metoprolol tartrate 50mg for 10 plus years. Recently I have been experiencing cold feet, especially when I lay down. My heart doctor checked my blood flow to my feet and said it was normal. He then suggested the culprit could be the metoprolol tartrate 50 mg that I was taking once daily. Can you recommend a substitute to eliminate this problem?

Hi Al,

Sorry to hear about you getting "cold feet" - no pun intended though Lol. Well I looked into the side effect profile of Metoprolol and found that NIH.gov actually lists "experiencing a paleness or cold feeling in the fingers/toes" as a less common symptom associated with this medication.

Ref: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0045008/#DDIC602483.side_effects_section

So it sounds to me like your doctor's assumption was right and that it may just be a good idea to speak with him directly about prescribing a suitable alternative to Metoprolol (such as other beta blockers or natural remedies) in order to see how well you respond.

Are you taking the Metoprolol for lowering blood pressure or is it for another type of heart condition?
