metoprolol for irregular heartbeat

I took Metoprolol for a few years. The only side effect I had was the tiredness. My dosages ranged from 25mg to 100mg daily.

Rapid heartbeat, sometimes together with a hard or irregular heartbeat.

I'm taking Metoprolol 25mg twice daily. The heart doctor told me that this is the right med for me to slow down my heart rate and everythings fine....

s, and no, I am not a pro athlete! I also have an irregular heartbeat. So far blood tests, cardiograms and heart ultrasound have not uncovered anything unusual or worrisome. Anyone ever hear of anything that these 2 symptoms could be symptomatic of? I also have slightly elevated blood pressure (still just under 140/90).

I am just wanting to know if irregular heartbeat is normal with high blood pressure as iv had high blood pressure now about 2 yrs but in the last few months my heart seems to race some and sat it started to race but dident stop after a few minutes like usual so i went to the E.

But when i drink alcohol i feel fine, but the day after i feel very weird, my heartbeat is very strong and irregular .. It beats so hard i can see my whole chest/stomach moving, i get hot flashes and if i work out i'm faster in need of breath .. Is it normal? As someone told me, when people with anxiety drink alcohol, their symptoms are worse the next day .. But i'm not more scared after i had some alcohol. So can someone help me please?

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure hypertension about 4 months back and im on blood pressure medicine which keeps my levels controlled but i still always feel like im not in this world,im always light headed, and i have a hard time breathing alot of the time.

Thank you for your comments! Ma'am! I have consulted a doctor and he advised me "propananol", but no good.Yes i am very puzzled and anxious about it , because i never felt i had something!! thank you for your comments!!

Any theories on how exercise causes irregular heartbeats. I've been an athlete for most of my life.Well, now it seems that several hours after I exercise I get benign PAC's. What causes this? Is it lactic acid build-up or a PH imbalance? There has to be some reason for this? I want to keep exercising but these constant PAC's after I workout really suck. The weird thing is the PAC's don't usually start until a few hours after I work out. please help.

I have been an atheletic all my life but recently I had an irregular heartbeat that was diagnosed as Atrial Fibulation. I spent 3 days in the hospital which was my first and I am now on Lovenox, metoprolol and I really want to know will i be at risk going back to working out or riding my bike and playing basketball. My heart was shocked back to a regular pulse and I feel great ,I am 52 years old but I have the body and heart of a 29 year old male.

I have been experiencing a lot of weakness and dizziness and feeling like im gonna faint. Well on and off for a while now I have been getting this heartbeat that actually the best way to describe it is it looses rythm alltogether. It sort of just dows a twitching thing but it only lasts a few seconds then its gone. I also get chest pain up in my shoudler and sometimes right above my heart. It aso will start beating really fast for no reason. I have clocked it at160 before without excersizing.

I was at my first midwife appointment today and she said everything looked fine except my pulse is irregular and she is sending me for a ECG on Monday. I'm absolutely freaking out. Has anyone else been told they have an irregular pulse or know anything about it? She told me not to worry myself about it but it needs to be looked at. I'm really quite scared and not sure what to do.

what would cause my heartbeat to go from 60s down to 42, I do suffer from chromic stress and chronic anxiety

They sent me hm w/diagnosis irregular heartbeat and an ekg monitor i had to wear for 24hrs. Im confused as to what it all means. Can you shine a light on the subject for me?

I have 3 children my youngest is 2 1/2 and about 11 months after having the last one I began having an irregular heartbeat. Sometimes once or twice a day and other times 20-30 times a day. With my first two children I had hyperthyroidism after both children and have a very fast resting heart rate (130 bpm) and was put on beta blockers until my thyroid resumed normal function.

I am taking Metoprolol for PVC's, but this week it hasn't been helping. I have a bundle branch block. Right now every second or third beat is "wrong" and I can feel it in my throat. When I bend over and stand back up I feel a tightening in the middle of my back. Has anyone else had these symptoms?

'Irregular heartbeat' is quite a vague term but presumably you mean skipped beats. Assuming you mean skipped beats (PACs and PVCs), it is very common to feel them less when the heart rate is elevated. In fact, many people are provided relief from their PACs and PVCs through exercise.

That said, I think it is possible that a pinched nerve, if it is causing pain/stress/anxiety, could cause irregular heartbeats.

irregular heartbeat monitor as well as manual heartbeat counts provide 40 or sometimes less pulses per minute. Even bloodpressure sometimes 90 over 44 pulse 39. Medication Cipalat Retard tablets 20mg 1 tab twice a day.

I am a 45 yo female. History of anxiety/panic attacks. In February 2006 I went to the ER with SOB and chest pain. I remember the term IST after my EKG. The cardiologist admitted me. Over the next three days I had blood work, Echo, thallium stress test, monitoring, and a catheterization. I was told it was anxiety, had exercise intolerance and needed to lose weight (I weighed 175 at that time). I have since lost 45-50 pounds, but still do not exercise. I always had normal bp (120/80).
