Metoprolol in af
Common Questions and Answers about Metoprolol in af
toprol
I am a 53 yo man diagnosed ~8 years ago with lone paroxysmal atrial flutter and afib. Long term history of endurance sports but nothing outrageous - running 20 miles a week since my teens. Episodes are generally less than an hour, but frequent - typically one every day or couple of days. Have been trying a "pill in a pocket" appproach - that is, I will take some metoprolol (50 mg tablet) if the tachycardia lasts more than 5 minutes.
I take coumadin, metoprolol, and 120mg morphine time released. Low back disc problems and acute syotica. Im always in AF while I feel this way. I have a defibrillator, and have been hit allot because of the SVT. The first time I was shocked it caused me to laugh uncontrollably.
If Atrial Fibrillation caused Enlarged Heart, does that mean the AF medications she is taking (Metoprolol and Wafarin) are not effective in controlling her AF anymore? She saw she has irregular heart beat pretty much every day when she measures her blood pressure at home (the monitor can also indicate if you have irregular heart beat).

I am 69yrs old,mechanical valves for aortic and mitral,CABGx2,Medtronics Adapta ADRS-01 for SSS,Brady-Tachy cardia,AF,Sinus passes more than 2.5secs.Still I get dizziness twice/month while morning walk only with burps.I am on warfarin,metoprolol,dipyradmole plus statin and Omega-3.
Is it usual to get dizziness or light head with all the care given?Does any other member experience these?The symptoms are for 2minutes and I continue walking again.
Thanks, I have a follow up with my cardiologist on Tuesday. I definately am not in any kind of endurance training, lol, I could stand to lose a few pounds, and if I do, I may be able to say goodbye to my blood pressure problems, and then just be on rate control meds for the Afib (which I am hoping is due to strep and never comes back!!!). I have already started looking into ablations in case I need to have them, because I will certainly not live with it forever.
EP says its better to do it now while Im relatively young and healthy so that in 10 years Im not in perm/chronic afib and on tons of meds. Can anyone share their experience with me? I am trying not to drive myself crazy again. EP says Id stay overnite for observation and be on a real blood thinner for 2 months....
I am 6 months post ablation and till now I still have a storm of arrhythmia coming and going. I don't know if it was unsuccessful or is it still irritation. I've been feeling AF beats (up to 140bpm), PACs, PVCs, but my EP said it is atrial tachycardia. I can't really tell, but recently me and my husband want to plan for a second child. I was wondering if I can still get pregnant with my heart being like this or should I wait?
ve been put on metoprolol 50mg twice a day, I kind of had a panic attack before because i thought I was going to pass out as ive blacked out a few times during exercise. I think it was just panic that made me go dizzy as my heart rate was not erratic, however the thing is my heart was still beating forcefully and fast when I panicked, I thought the aim of the beta blockers were to stop the heart beating so fast. It does seem slower during the day though.
d have the longer ones maybe once a day. It appears the increase in metoprolol handled the little arrhythmias and is allowing the bigger ones to break through. But is something as scarey as propanolol really indicated here?
I left my last cardiologist because she tried to do a flutter ablation and discovered when she got in my heart that she could only create fibrillation.
Unfortunately, my ablation has failed now and I am back to having symptoms and on blood thinners ( Eloquis) and metoprolol. I recently saw a electrphysiologist who told me that it’s much harder to do an ablation years later after the first one failed and would only have 50/50 odds. I would like to know how I can find more information about research into ablation after it has failed years later.
5 year ago and had very short period (2 days) of AF post-surgery. I have been taking Metoprolol Succinate 47.5mg/day for 8 months as long term essential medication for HCM. My daily pulse is around 45-55 bpm and occasionally feel lightheadedness. I recently had one FAINT when I rested at a sofa. It lasted for about 5 seconds. My pulse was 50 immediately after recovery.
The first in two years landed me in the Hospital. My meds were changed from Metoprolol to Diltiazem 360 mg per day and Fleconade 50 mg 2x per day plus Warfarin. The Metoprolol 25mcg 1 x daily has been making me wheeze for the past four years, but no one ever thought to change the meds. I have been on this new med protocol for 1.5 weeks. I just started the Fleconide and Warfarin three days ago.
My question is I need to loose 45 pounds asap.
More info on this, now that my Holter and Echo results are in. They did not see afib, just 191 PAC's and some runs of PAT, longest 12 seconds, over the 48 hours Symptoms are still the same. Have been switched to Bisoprolol from Metoprolol. So this seems less worrisome, though I'd still like to determine and remedy the cause, if I can. Will start reading about PAC's on the forum.
This past year they occur more often, but always resolve themselves within 4 to 6 hours after taking 25 mg of Metoprolol. I had my last nuclear stress test in 18 months ago and my cardiologist said that I don't need to take another test for 3 years.I performed at 18 mets and my ejection fraction was 63%. I have hypertension which is treated successfully with a Lotrel 40/10. I am a daily runner and maintain a heart rate of between 135 and 140 during my runs for approx. 30 minutes.
hey 23 year old male, right off the bat I know I have some mental issues, Iv had bipolar and social anxity since I was a kid and have delt with them feelings and know how they feel, b4 it seems like just because I have this issues that doctors haven't been taken me seriuos about these new symptoms I have, it was about 8 months ago I got my gallbladder out due to a huge stone, I never had these symptoms b4 then, nor do I even think the surgery might of caused this, Randomly my vision goes blu
IC Sotalol or Sotalol HCL are the same BUT Sotalol AF is completely different Do NOT take Sotalol AF it might kill you. When you start sotalol AF you have to be in a facility with resuscitation devices it might stop your heart. Once I was given at a Pharmacy by mistake and I ended up in the ER.
Always take the oval light blue pills, AF are round orange pills.
Metoprolol caused me hair loss....Bystolic has slowed it down somewhat....
There does not appear to be any increase in lung uptake. Review of the images shows no evidence of significant decreased tracer uptake suggesting ischemia. Review of the gated images shows the right ventricle to be normal in size, wall motion and wall thickening. Ejection fraction at 71%. IMPRESSION: Normal gated Lexiscan Tc-99m scan without any overt evidence of ischemia. ECG portion of the study was negative for ischemia.
Because of the irregular pulse, I went to see a cardiologist today in a small town here in Turkey where I live. While in the clinic, my blood pressure was much higher than my own recordings at home.
The cardiologist ordered an EKG and an echocardiogram. Based on my 2003 report, my recent pulse measurements and the results of the EKG and echocardiogram, he prescribed the following medications:
Clexane 6000 IU/0.
Good information from Itdood.
I am in permanent AFib and of similar age to your father. I have been on Warfarin for about 8 years and was on it even when in Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) - which was the case for periods of time up to 18 months each following electrocardioversions.. In those times I was a regular at the fitness center and a runner.
you won't be on a time release with standard metoprolol that is why you need to take it twice a day. I don't know why you have to cut in in half, Wal-Mart has generic metoprolol in 25mg tablets for $4.
