His heart beat is currently at 30s but his blood pressure is quite high. He complained about his chest pain and upper arm pain daily. He has excessive sweat and got fainted once last week. We went to see the doctor, the doctor asked my dad to stop taking METOPROLOL TARTRATE (BETALOC) which he has been taking for a long time. The doctor just said if my dad feels chest pain again, send him to the emergency room. What do you think the issue is?
Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins). Metoprolol is used to treat angina (chest pain) and hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also used to treat or prevent heart attack.
It seems to me if you have high blood pressure the medication should be taken regularily and not as needed. I don't know the effect it has on chest pain.
I was diagnosed with Graves. I have been having chest pains all the time it is so scary but cardiologist confirmed that my heart is OK. Does anyone else have chest pains and what it could be? Does anyone ever recovered from Graves? Any advice or support would be very appreciated. it is so hard to be in pain all the time. I take 1 Methimazole and 0.5 or Metoprolol Succinate for now.
I have experienced tingling in my legs, pressure in my head, takes time for eyes to focus on things, jittery, pain in my chest area and back, and in the morning my heart rate is usually high when I get up anywhere from 110-130. Is this a normal reaction to this medication? My doctor thinks my rapid heart rate is due to severe anemia and possible hyperthyroidism.
Both drugs have the same side effects and together and one or the other or both create what I can only describe as chaotic turbulence in my chest and pain in my left arm when the second drug kicks in.. My cardiolgist now wants me to add a blood thinner (xarelto) to my meds menu. Who else has this problem with taking both diltiazem and metoprolol? Is it wise to mix a beta blocker and a calcium channel blocker.

I am having an inordinate number of PVC's/PAC's and I just need advice...or help or something.
Here is my background: I am 47 yo female who up till about three months ago was very healthy. I exercise daily, my weight is good, low BP, well adjusted everything lol. In the beginning of August I began having left shoulder/arm and chest pain and I thought it was related to a small lump under my left arm. I had a mammogram/US of left arm and it was negative for any problems.

Hi, I am a 35 yr old mom of 1.5 yr old quadruplets. I had high blood pressure during the last month of my pregnancy with severe preeclampsia all resulting in continued elevated blood pressure. Since the birth of the babies, I was on amlodipine with good pressure regulation but began to experience skipped heart beats about 1 year post partum. Doc switched me to metoprolol and a holter done with occasional pvcs and pacs. Echo was normal.

Six months ago I complained of chest pain and diastolic pressure was 41. My doctor took me off of metoprolol and ordered tests from a cardiologist.Tests were all fine the pain went away and diastolic pressure returned to normal until a week ago. The chest pain has returned and the diastolic pressure is 53.I am currently on benicar hct 40/25 and my bp has been 126/53. Should I stop taking the benicar? Not sure what to make of the chest pain.I am a 48 yr. old female other wise in good health.
I have been taking metoprolol and diltiazem for sixteen months and initially the medications brought the SVTs under control. Fourteen months ago I started coughing blood and experiencing chest congestion. This took my attention off any heart issues and sent me on a long search for the cause of the bleeding. After many tests and visits with various specialists I never did get the answer. The bleeding resolved itself after 10 months (last October) and has not reappeared.
My electrophysiologist recently put me on a beta blocker (Metoprolol) 25 mg twice a day for hypertension and a ton of other symptoms he said must be due to Neurocardiogenic Syncope. I was diagnosed with asthma a couple years ago and it seems as if the beta blocker is causing shortness of breath and a feeling that seems similar to how I feel after exercising, a sort of chest tightness I would say.
Is this common for beta blockers to do to people with asthma?

I got perscribed metoprolol( a beta blocker) for high blood pressure and tachycardia last week. Since I’ve started taking it I’ve had a mild pain in my chest.
more than usual, I just eat another banana and in about an hour everythings good again. No pain...just a sense of movement in my chest. Dr. tried to change me to Terazosin but the flutters were intollerable so he put me back on Metoprolol. My BP is high on the 50 mg of Metoprolol (169/90) so he wants to give me 50 mg Metoprolol in the morning and another 50 mg at night. I'm worried that this will increase the heart flutters. I'm so sick of bananas...
m still having the same original symptoms before any of it and now its much worse with alot of added symptoms. I wake up all during the night with a stabbing chest pain and a fluttering feeling. My blood pressure stays around 137/94.
Do you have some sound advice? ,This illness is really effecting my ability to provide for my family and perform everyday activities.
I had, on average, 20-30,000 ectopic beats every day, and 6-700 runs of SVT per day. Most of my episodes occur at night. From 10pm to 6am, my hourly burden of PACs/SVTwas 30-80%. It starts in the evening and then keeps me awake constantly. The meds have all been a disaster. I have had two ablation attempts with failure to induce. The last ablation attempt caused pericarditis. I was.taking Metoprolol, which I have taken before and it always seems to stop working.
In March of 2007 I had finished some work outside had some chest pain (muscle strain) My mother was worried started to argue about the ER (she is a huge worrier) I still had my coat on.. I started to feel hot very hot and my heart rate shot up. It is true when taking your pulse when anxious it rises even more but mine was around 160-170. I took .
The pain if it occurs on coughing or movement, it could be due to pleuritis. The pleura, the lining of the chest cavity and lungs can get inflamed causing pain and is referred to as pleurisy. This can happen with infections like tuberculosis or pneumonia. It can also occur with other conditions like trauma to the chest or pulmonary embolism. The pain could also be due to pericarditis. Therapy lies in treating the underlying cause and pain killers.
I never know when they are going to come on and how strong they are going to be and how long they are going to last. The cardiologist has now put me on the 50mg of metoprolol/daily and 100mg of Flecainide/twice daily. Yesterday was my first dose of the flecainide and I ended up in the emergency room again. The doctor at the ER just sounded annoyed with me...told me nothing can be done, PVC's are benign. All he did was give me 1mg of Ativan for anxiety. I don't know what to do anymore...
