Metoprolol Ankles Swelling (Top voted first)

I started Metoprolol a couple weeks back. It wasn’t completely doing what I needed so my doc doubled it to 50 mgs about 5 days ago. Last night my feet were so swollen. Now I’m scared and I can’t reach my doctor due to this snow here. I don’t know if I should completely stop or take it down to 25 mgs? Help? Anyone?

REPORT

That can be a side effect of this medication, in some people that take it, according to FDA reports. It may also cause other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, increased urination, and hypotension.

It would be best not to change your dosage, without a physician's approval.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications?

Re: Verwon (# 1)

I’m still on metoprolol. My doc doesn’t think that is why my feet, ankles and legs are swelling. I was in a horrible car accident. I was hit very hard. It broke my sternum. The doctor thinks that I was hit so hard that it is causing all this swelling. It was almost a month ago. I still don’t know if I agree with the doc. It just sounds weird. Any thoughts from anyone?
