What Does A Metoprolol Pill Look Like (Top voted first)

Updated

I had aorta surgery approx two months ago.I was taking 50mg Metoprlol 1xday. My blood pressure readings were really low 89/60. I would feel light-headed when standing. My doctor cut the dose to 25mg 1xday. Still light-headed. Now I am doing 12.501xday. light-headed gone. Now my heart rate is up???

Hello, Francesca! How are you?

It can be normal to experience a rebound elevated heart rate, when your dosage is lowered, or you stop taking a medication in this class, according to FDA warnings. You may also experience elevated blood pressure.

Why hasn't your doctor tried a different medication? There are many others you can try to see if they don't cause you such awful side effects. Many doctors love to prescribe Metoprolol as the first choice, but it doesn't work well for everyone that tries it. I can't take it, either, it makes me miserable. I now take Labetalol and Losartan, both of which are known to cause less side effects for many people that try them.

It is an idea you can ask your doctor about, if you wish.

I have been taken it for many years. Can I have a reaction to it after so long. Drinking a lot more water. Thank you for your reply. Francesca.
