Metoprolol Low Heart Rate

I have been taking Metoprolol 50 mg twice daily for about two years and my pulse was usually around 67 or 68 . The last few days my pulse has been 51 to 56 , I have been very dizzy . Today I went out and had bad pressure in my head and was very dizzy , I thought I was going to pass out . My hubby had to help me get to the car . Am I getting to much Metoprolol ?

Yes, it is possible that you might need a dosage adjustment and should consult your doctor. That can be a side effect of this medication, according to FDA reports. You may also experience other side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.

Are you on any other medications?
