I am not aware of tight calves and joint pains being common side effects of metoprolol. Checking other electrolyte levels, specifically the calcium and sodium levels, should also be done.
These options should be discussed with your personal physician.

She has numbness and tingling in legs(Possible side effects of Metoprolol?). The endo had told us it would take atleast 2 weeks for her symptoms to improve provided she is on beta blockers.
What is making us confused is whether the drugs themselves are causing this side effects. What can we give her to improve her appetite as she has zero appetite now and what can we give her to help her fatigue.
Immediately, I felt a tightness in my chest and shortness of breath after taking. I googled acetylcysteine and one of the side effects was shortness of breath and tightness of chest. I have an appointment to see my doctor in 2 weeks (retired vet....appointments these days are hard to get) meanwhile I'm wondering if there are others who have experienced this the drug acetylcysteine with the same side effects.
I stop using it 3 days ago until I see my doctor.
As lagoya mentioned, you may or may not experience side effects. If so, they range from annoying side effects to serious side effects. If it's helpful, when I took flecainide, I had weird dreams, shakiness, tremors and gastointestinal problems. It wasn't horrible, but it was bothersome enough that the doctor switched me to rhythmol.
Great suggestion from lagoya on checing out the medication under "Health Topics" above.
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.
dry mouth, shortness of breath. They did lower my pressure though. Along with these, I took HCTZ 12.5 mg which also have me those same sided effects. Doctor took me off ALL BP meds and my nose bled uncontrollably and I wound up in the hospital and was given clonidine as my pressure reached 100/97. Now I'm on 100 mg of losartan, no HCTZ, only a cough but....my pressure is not controlled and goes up as the day progresses.
The side effects made me feel terrible, slow heart rate, terrible back and sternum pain and made my breathing very shallow, so I cut it to quarter doses and feel a lot less side effects. Tired of feeling short of breath all the time and worrying im going to have a heart attack and being paranoid to go far from the house or my safe zone. Also I feel like a hypochondriac always looking up my symptoms, convinced that it is a heart problem. Any help would be much appreciated. ..thanks so much.
While it may be nothing very serious, dyspnea or shortness of breath can be an allergic reaction affecting the respiratory system and can become fatal. This shortness of breath can also be due to hypoglycemia cause by Levaquin. Please call up your doctor urgently and do not take the next dose until you have spoken to the doctor and have been examined by him. Take care!
Depression, diarrhea, dizziness, itching, rash, shortness of breath, slow heartbeat, tiredness.
The chest pains are another issue and could be the result of restenosis of the previous treatment of angioplasty (balloon, stent?). The symptoms of chest pain, excessive sweating , etc. is consistent with ischemia (lack of blood flow) possibly with restenosis or other blockage. It would get an immediate checkup, if it is ischemia there can be permanent damage to the heart cells.
After having radiation, I get some painful heartburn right under my breast where my ribs almost meet. Is this common? I also have shortness of breath and when I cough, I sound like I have a smokers cough. My cough is not chronic. Is this common?
I would love some answers. Thanks so much.

Sometimes I get shortness of breath for no reason at all. I think this is different from the MS hug (although today I had/have both) because my lungs just feel like they're not getting enough air.
Sometimes it's because of hypotension - changing from upright to sitting, or vice versa.
Today it was just a low-level shortness, that lasted until it turned into an MS hug. (Or spasms of the intercostal muscles - whatever it was, it was painful.
I used both, and found that side effects are similar; tiredness, weight gain, and a slow pulse. Side effects are more pronounced as the dosage is increased. I had dosages from 25mg to 200mg. daily. Other reported effects are loss of libido, tightness in the chest, itching, irregular breathing, and irregular heartbeat. If you have any further questions, I'd be happy to respond based on my experience with the drug.
I'm 70 years old. Had quad bypass on Oct 4. Developed Afib the night before I was to go home. Also twice more for short periods over the next week in the hosp. They put me on metoprolol, baby aspirin, amiodarone and atorvastation.
Since then my pulse is in the low 40's but with blood pressure anywhere between 110 and 135 at various times. However I've now developed shortness of breath when I bend over or do light exercise. Also tired more than normal.
However, you would notice a difference after 24 hours when you usually top up your body with the drug. The usual symptoms are stronger angina, such as increased shortness of breath, mild chest pains etc. I found it harder to breathe and it's hardly surprising taking into account that my body was used to this drug for 2 years. Weening off gently allowed my body to adapt rather than shocking it into having a more reactive and powerful circulatory system.
