The doctor put me on lisnop/hctz then sense then cause of my heart rate he put me on metoprolol to calm my heart rate down. both pills twice a day. Is this good for my body? I don't know whats going on can anybody give a imput on this.my heart is racing and beating so hard.
Well, in my case it seems to be keeping my heart rate between 70-90 bpm. I take 360 mg daily of the cardizem cd. I tried to withdraw from it. I took diovan hct and metoprolol after I withdrew from the cardizem cd but after 24 hours my heart rate was up to 110 bpm. my bp was normal but none of the other meds would bring my heart rate down. I took my regular dosage of the cardizem cd and my heart rate came back down to normal.
I have what seems like a "mild" version of Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (or a mild dysautonomia). I've been on 37.5mg of metoprolol for 3 years, so I have no idea what my actual resting heart rate is, but on the drug it's in the 50s/60s, so not high at all. The metoprolol definitely helps me feel less on edge all the time, but it doesn't prevent spikes (b/w 100-150) or my heart from getting "stuck" at a higher resting rate for hours on end (80s/90s).
I was recently prescribed a beta blocker to reduce blood pressure and heart rate due to Afib. When I asked the doctor how low the heart rate should go and told her my resting heart rate in the morning is 45 to 50 and normally 60-65 during the day, she said that was because I exercise. She never answered the question and I have not started taking the beta blockers. She prescribed metroprolol at 25 mg a day.
I did ask my doctor if the metoprolol could be the cause and he did not seem to think so -- it might be as Brooke says, that the lower heart rate makes them more noticeable - my HR on metoprolol is in the 40s as my normal resting HR is about mid-50s. I have given up coffee and alcohol which has not made any difference. Hope things get better for you.
How long should I give the metoprolol? How long do the side effects last? Is it really bad to have a heart rate consistently in the lower 50s?

I am 37 yr old female. I do have anxiety and am on medicine for that, but my cardiologist put me on metoprolol, a very low dose, trying to help with my heart rate palpitations. I took my 1/2 pill of metoprolol 2 days ago and felt weird, which could have been just nervous bc I was scared of what it would do to my heart rate. My heart rate really hasn't been too high here lately so that's why I was concerned.
Nonetheless, to be on the safe side I was given a nuclear stress test - everything turned out just fine, my cardiologist said my heart is perfectly normal. The only problem was the high heart rate - when I went to get on the treadmill my heart rate jumped from 90 bpm to 145 bpm. This is definitely from the anxiety - I was terrified of the test and treadmills make me very uncomfortable. Moreover, at home my heart rate never makes a jump like that, it usually goes from 60 bpm to 80 bpm.

I have severe anxiety and my heart rate fluctuates. After wearing a halter monitor for 24hours and now knowing my heart rate rises to 140 in my sleep and when sitting and also I had an echocardiogram and it came back normal which is good so I know my heart is ok and this is due to my anxiety . I was given Toprol XL 25 mg to take but I am afraid to take it. I know its my anxiety talking but is it safe to take when it is for anxiety and to steady my heart rate?Also how does it make you feel?
Hello everyone. I am back with what I hope is simple question. A couple of weeks ago my doctor put me on Metoprolol for my PVC'S, elevated blood pressure because of fast heart rate. He also renewed my prescription for Xanax because I have severe anxiety. Has anyone taken these medications together and had any adverse reaction? I don't like to take pills at all but I am at the point I have to take something for this anxiety because I am barely functioning!
Can't help you with the sex life part, as I'm a female, but I can share my experience switching from a beta blocker to diltiazem. I have been taking beta blockers for 8 years for SVT and afib. I had an episode of afib and was in the hospital is Sept. They took me off the beta blocker and put me on diltiazem. It didn't control my heart rate like the beta blocker. My resting heart rate went from upper 60s to the low 80s.
5 mg of Metoprolol and 30 minutes later I can feel my heart rate decreasing to a more normal rate but at 10 AM my heart rate will start increasing and the effect of the Metoprolol will wear off completely after 3:30 hours maximum... With the Propranolol, who have an even sorther half-life, the effect will last 4 hours...
I agree with you, I guess my Cardiologist was thinking that 50 mg day of Metoprolol will not have a lot of side-effects on me...

Forgot to ask..
What has worked to get you back into a normal rhythm or to atleast bring you down from extremely fast beats?
For me (toporol) metoprolol givin in an IV brings my heart rate down but doesn't convert me. Adenosine is completely useless. I havent been shocked yet, im hoping that doesn't happen.
I tried bisoprolol (zebeta) 5mg oraly brought my heart rate down too much.. it was about 45bpm resting. So im back to 12.5mg metoprolol daily.
Both Amlodipine (Calcium channel blocker) and Metoprolol (Beta blocker) decrease heart rate, if the bradycardia is bothering you, you can ask your doctor for other drugs that decrease blood pressure without reducing heart rate (i.e drugs that dilate the blood vessels and decrease resistance your heart have to work against, that doesn't affect your heart).
ve been taking Metoprolol 25 mg twice a day for benign tachycardia. I have a structurally normal heart. Question, sometimes during sex I feel my heart rate get up very high, I know this is normal. My doc prescribed me 5mg Cialis to take because I told him I was having some trouble maintaining an erection at times during sex. That is partly the metoprolol probably, and partly the Lexapro I take. Will the Cialis be enough to give me back my erections? Also, I've never taken an ED drug before.
Im scared to take it cause ive been having really bad reactions to meds lately my blood pressure and sugar is staying high and my heart rate dr wants me to take half of 25mg twice a day for my heart rate i also have MS im diabetic and have coronary heart disease and ive had a heart attack and triple by pass so should i try this i may have to have a heart cath soon to see why heart rate is high i need advise please
