Common Questions and Answers about How does metoprolol work
toprol
I'm on 75mg. per day of Metoprolol. I find it very easy to take. I was briefly on Sotalol just before I scheduled my ablation, and I didn't do well at all on it, and went back to Metoprolol. I can't say that I was on Sotalol long enough to gauge just how well it worked. But I did have one very bad episode of SVT about 3 days into starting it. I then switched back.
HTN, chest pain ect.
I am on Metoprolol 100 mg/day. I feel good no side effects at all, never had. It was fine from the beginning. Before I was on Coreg . Same, it was fine. I do not think you have any side effects from medications at all. You do have anxiety. You should work on that.There are healthier ways to work on that instead of taking prescription drugs. It can harm you many ways on the long run.
It has to have a very specific scheule in getting off of them. It does not mean it will not work it just have to be done under medical supervision. You have not said why you are on the meds anyway. Having MVP itself usually doesn't warrant being of Metoprolol. Do you have high blood pressure? What type of palps did they say you had and if you are still having them my questions would be why? Especially if you are still have palps is it such a great idea to go off of the meds.
I am on 25mg of metoprolol for my pvcs, pacs, and svt. I have realized the past week or so it doesn't seem like my medication is easing my symptoms. Is this usual for us to build a tolerance for the medication? Are there other options other than surgery? Or perhaps another beta blocker that I could try? Ideas?
Thank you in advance!
HTN, chest pain ect.
How do I take the Metoprolol if one day my heart rate is too low, and another too high? Cardiology does not seem concerned. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with the tachycardia not being consistent from one day to the next?
Said that I needed to get it under control, and that was about 18 months ago. Hopefully the metoprolol will work at a higher dose. It is succinate, btw. is the succinate supposed to be extended release? It doesnt seem to be releasing at all.
First off thank you sooooooooo much for answering my question and secondly to ask this question in the expert forums would cost me 20 bucks I don't have, so that's sorta why I am here.
As for the Metoprolol dosages 10 MG is a drop in the bucket Bromley check this website http://www.medicinenet.com/metoprolol/article.htm with the Metoprolol dosages on this page on how its dispensed...
Been on Atenolol (for 15 years) then switched to Metoprolol when the Aten quit stopping the palpitations. Well..I havent felt "right" for a while now. Tired, always feel like I have a SLIGHT case of vertigo..not really dizzy..but...off.... I kept up with my workouts and every other crazy thing in my life. Went to the cardiac workout place on Wed of last week to workout, and I was telling the tecnician about how I had been feeling.
he said I could go back on the Atenolol if I wanted to--that the Metoprolol does NOT suppress the heartrate as much as Atenolol does..but that I would probably have to fight the palpitations more then. So...a no-win situation.
They said its just normal for it to not keep the heartrate down like the Aten.
Last night..we had a problem with noisy neighbors in the night--I ended up having to call 911..and that mustve been scary for me..
My cardiologist wants to up my dosage of Metoprolol, but my normal BP is already 90s/60s and my resting HR is currently 58. He assures me that taking more won't have much impact on either and won't "bottom me out". I'd be moving from the tiny dose of 37.5 to a full tiny dose of 50. Lol
Obviously I'm just worried that my numbers are already so low that going lower will make me symptomatic and miserable.
I have taken 25 mg Metoprolol XL (tartrate) once a day for over a decade. For me it has been better than other anti-arrhythmics and better than other Beta Blockers (like propanolol) that I tried and I have to say it is the most "comfortable" one for me.
I've been having PVC's since about 2003. Usually would have a few bouts of them every year where they would come on every evening for anywhere from a week to a couple months. I've managed to live with them until recently. The past six months have been a nightmare. The PVC's are sometimes constant all day and night...sometimes every third beat, sometimes every 4th or 5th beat.
t do a thing to my heart rate while I am in afib or flutter (though the beta blocker does reduce my resting heart rate when not in tachycardia, the Ca blocker not so much.) But the beta blocker does seem to reduce the length of the episodes compared to how long they last if I just let it go, so this seems to be some sort of rhythm control. (And again, the Ca blocker does not seem to be effective at this either, which is why it is a former medication.
This is my third morning waking up from metoprolol, 25mg. I'm taking it because my doctor suspects I have long QT. Only measured on tilt table but my 24 hour holter test was normal. My stress test was - heart is "good." No word on whether he saw long QT in those tests. I'm 56 years old.
Anyway I posted before, but this is a different subject: I have shallow breathing at night after I take it. I take it at 8pm. It is hard to sleep. Is that how it's going to be from now on?
