When did the shaking ang cough started? Is this before or after the prescription of metoprolol? Metoprolol is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent that is used for treating high blood pressure, heart pain, abnormal rhythms of the heart, and some neurologic conditions. Metoprolol is generally well tolerated. However, this drug may reduce blood flow to the hands and feet, causing them to feel cold. Smoking may worsen this effect. Some side effects include: symptoms of a very slow heartbeat (e.g.
t really blame metoprolol, but blame over eating. On Weight watchers now and have lost 14 lbs. I was Prescribed metoprolol and aspirin after diagnosis of 50% blockage in main heart artery to reduce BP and prevent angina. Then After 11 years started getting rapid heart beat. Dr switched my Metoprolol and my BP went dangerously high. Put me back on metop with increase to 1&1/2. .

You can look on drug info sites and see that anxiety is an infrequent side effect of metoprolol and other BBs. Same with weight gain, and even a reference to increasing any pre-existing depression.
When you have rare side effects, it can be difficult to convince anybody that the effect is real and does come from the drug. I'd identify what web sites he would consider to be as authoritative sources, then print web pages from those sources that list your symptoms as rare side effects.
Don't take the diet pills if you have high BP! They will definitely mess with your heart. You can end up with palpitations for one thing and it will make things worse.
Just tell your doctor you can't lose any weight or you're gaining weight. Maybe he can help with the weight loss.
I take 100 mg metoprolol and I am not aware of any hair loss from that. I've taken as much as 200 mg, but only for short periods. Not hair loss then either.
I think some side effects, like hair loss, are frequently temporary...hope that's your situation.
Hi - I have a question for all of you metoprolol users...is it possible to gain weight on 12.5 mgs per day? :( I'm a very active 53 yo woman (cardio 60 min daily, weight training 4x a week, martial arts 3 x). How is it possible that I'm struggling to keep from gaining weight? I'm currently looking at my calorie intake and also the macro allocation, but one would think with all of the cardio, sparring and weigh training keeping the weight off would be easy!

I too have been your surprise of improving fast the locks loss and locks loss after a few months on metoprolol. My Dr. says he never observed of the complication. The details and caution piece that emerged with my medications by all drug stores did not list a single complication as they did with everyone of me other RX's. The entire info piece was instead dedicated to informing you not to quit taking the medication without a declining off plan.
I am on Amlodipine and Metoprolol. Prior to starting this I was doing well on an 1100 calorie very low carb diet and I also hit the gym for 2 hours a day. I have not lost any weight in over three weeks. I would like to do a trial of not taking the b/p meds. I think the only reason my b/p went up was because I had gained 40 pounds. I have a home cuff and will monitor myself and lucky for me when my pressure goes up I get a headache.
t understand why since I have stopped the drastic loss of weight. If I am basically maintaining my weight on this low dose of methimazole what benefit would there be from RAI. I would have to be on a different med for the rest of my life anyway. (I am 57 yr old female 5'1" and staying around 150 pounds on the methimazole) What do you guys suggest?
4) Self weight for last 3 yrs. around 80 Kg. Taking medicines for hypertension. 5) Feeling pain in left hip joint. X-ray normal. 6) Feeling fatigued. 7) Ortho doctor advised me to consult physician for increased TSH & uric acid. 6) Kindly advise if any medication etc.
Your post is the first I've seen that connected an increase in heart arrhythmia problems with weight loss. I'd guess just the opposite if there is any connection to weight.... i.e., over weight isn't good for the heart or much else.
I am not familiar with atenolol, is it a beta blocker and/or anti-arrhythmia drug? In either of these cases I do not understand why one can not exercise. I have exercised at a high level, for my age, while taking both Propafenone and Metoprolol.
