Metoprolol for tachycardia
Common Questions and Answers about Metoprolol for tachycardia

Ok so I've been on Metoprolol 50-100mg a day for about a year for benign tachycardia. It's overall worked good for me. But I've noticed a decline in sexual function, specifically, more difficulty keeping an erection during sex. I'm about to start Cialis, so hopefully that will help regardless, but my cardiologist mentioned that I might try Cardizem. He was suggesting it had fewer sexual side effects.
Lately I am getting worse tachycardia even with the 50mg metoprolol twice a day. It seems to come and go in bouts. Overall the metoprolol has helped my tachycardia a lot in the several months I've been on it, but I wonder if it's run its course since the tachycardia seems to be coming back somewhat.
I'm only 33, in decent shape, about 178 pounds, 5'11, a bit out of shape but not terribly. I tend to not tolerate exercise too well in that it triggers my tachycardia at times.
i did one echo that was normal, i only had tachycardia. Doc gave me metoprolol. I was taking metoprolol for 12 days and suddenly felt something like pvcs. When i did ecg back in the hospital i saw several pvcs. 2 years ago i did a holter monitor there i got 208 pvcs. these 2 years i felt totally fine but after taking metoprolol i got pvcs and i have it especially at night. what should i do? can anyone help?
I too have PVCs (and Long QT, occasional tachycardia, etc.). Metoprolol works for me, especially when I take it with a Super C vitamin that includes Vitamin D and zinc. The doc had tried me on Bystolic when I was in the hospital 2 years ago and it worked too. Glad you found something that helped you and hope that you're still doing well!
ve been dealing with tachycardia for some time now. It comes and goes. I found that 50mg of Metoprolol twice a day would mostly control it, but as a 33 year old man, I began to notice major erection issues since being on it. Talked to my doctor, they want me to start 120mg a day of Diltiazem. I'm a little nervous about it, but they assured me it's no more potent a medication. And they said it's much better in terms of no side effects on sexual side.
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'm a 33 year old male, in good overall physical health. I have had benign palpitations pvcs, pacs for some time now. For about a year I'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.
I was looking for anyone else who suffers from Atrial ectopic tachycardia, or Sick Sinus Syndrome.
What medicines are you using with good results and such?
Does anyone else suffer from exercise intolerence?
Suggestions are helpful too!
I have Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) my heart beats very rapidly for about minutes to sometimes 30 minutes . i am medications which controls the rhythm but there are times that i feel like my heart is beating very slow and at times i feel as if my heart muscles are strained because of the strenuous activities i do . I want to have a family and i was wondering if i women with my condition can have children?
The Metoprolol slows my hear to the 60s when I take it at night, but my heart rate is back in the 90s-100 and 80s in the morning and all day. Is that normal? Also, I have been experiencing some occasional pain in the sternum area when I take a breath and in the area right between my collar bones....I called the dr. last night about it and he said it didn't seem like a heart issue, not to worry and to call my dr.'s nurse today (which I have & left a message).
I was taking a stronger dose, but my blood pressure was way too low. I was given Metoprolol because of Tachycardia. The doctors have all told me i have Sinus Tachycardia, but dont seem to give me a reason as why i have it. I saw a Cardiologist who did an ultrasound of my heart, stress test and echocardiograms and all that shows up on my EKG's are Sinus Tachycardia. My symptoms are as follows Fast heartbeat, shortness of breath, chest pain and dizziness....
i've been taking 10-40 mg at a time for inappropriate sinus tachycardia control (probably anxiety, but who knows). The propranolol seemed like a good choice since i also have headaches (kill 2 birds with 1 stone) but it seems to be having too much of a cerebral effect on me....
I used up to 160 mg of Propranolol before my anxiety kick in to manage my migraine headache and I had no side-effects at all... For the tachycardia, low dose of 10-20 mg x 3 a day will be enough for me. That dose seem probably ridiculous for someone with high blood pressure, but for me it's what I need, taking more will just lower the blood pressure and lowering too much the blood pressure is as bad as having hign blood pressure...
The runs were shorter on the Metoprolol, but that is about all that changed. (Paroxysmal runs of SVT for 2-3/seconds up to 2-3 hours. So he said I could just stop the Metoprolol. The only plan for now is to try the TENS vagal stimulation (which he was fine with), take Propranolol for sleeping, and call him if it gets worse. The next med to try is Sotolol. For now I am just going to wait and see. I'm tired of the meds.
I called a cardiologist friend of mine and he met me in the ER where they actually captured a run of tachycardia during an episode. They added metoprolol and set me up to see an electrophysiologist in the area and now I'm scheduled for an ablation, which somehow scares the heck out of me.
Eventually they said it was not settlign down and they said it could either stay or wait for it too settle. (Since I had been there like 3 hours and it was approachign 10PM, I decided to leave).
Since then I have felt awful, mostly the chest not feeling right. I spoke to my family doctor (a few days later) and he said I was just suffering form stress. (Meanwhile I'm way out of breath, my chest does not feel right, and I'm feelign miserable).
m 32 years old. I have Mitral valve prolapse with mild regurgitation and inappropriate tachycardia. I take 12.5 mgs of Metoprolol Succinate ER and can hopegully wean off completely soon. My blood pressure has been staying in the 90s/60s and I have horrible headrushes after standing up (disturbances in vision and light headedness) and my heart seems to race when I stand up.
Could the Metoprolol be making things worse? I had it pretty bad before I started Metoprolol but I also have anxiety so take Xanax too for that.
Can anyone offer help/suggestions? Going back to the cardiologist in a couple weeks, he probably won't do much but maybe is there another medication I could try? The Metoprolol affects my libido and I have to take Cialis sometimes for that reason.
re already taking Lisonopril for hypertension, be cautious, Metoprolol is often a very effective, cheap method for for control of hypertension as well. I now take it for that very reason. My guess is they put you on a low dose. What did they prescribe?
Also, Toprol XL (metoprolol succinate) is a timed release version of metoprolol. If you are good about taking medications, Metoprolol Tartrate is perhaps a quarter of the cost of the Toprolol XL, except you have to take it twice a day. I take mine every 12 hours, at dinner and upon rising; 5 and 5 is easy to remember.
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.
