Common Questions and Answers about Metoprolol in asthma

Propranolol and other medicines in its class are capable of evoking bronchospasm in people with asthma. Metoprolol is selective, but not entirely so; thus, asthma worsens in some people given this “selective” medicine and you may be one of them.
Your doctor may have prescribed the metoprolol for both relief of the syncope and treatment of your hypertension. There are many other anti-hypertensive medicines that will control your hypertension without aggravating your asthma.
She started having noticeable cardiac issues (flutters, racing, chest pain) over the summer, which eventually resulted in a Holter monitor. She had her f/u with her cardiologist yesterday and was diagnosed with PVCs. She was put on Metoprolol, and told to go to the ED if she had an episode that lasted more than 30 seconds.
There isn't much material easily accessible about the correlation, and the effect on her overall prognosis.
I have a history of Asthma, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea and Sero-Negative Rheumatoid Arthritis. My best peak flow is 500. I am a 56 year old woman and was not on any preventative asthma meds at the time of catching the cold and development of the sinus infection.
I am on Plaquenil 400mg Metoprolol Tartrate 50mg BID, Proventil HFA 2puffs every 4 hours, Flovent Diskus 250mcg (started one week ago), Nasonex, Augmentin 875 BID.
Ugh, I hate a lingering cough. Couple of things come to mind. First, coughs can last a long time. Once the airway and bronchial tubes get irritated, they take a while to get better. So the least little thing will cause a coughing jag (exertion, changing position to lay down, etc.). It can happen that it takes 2 months to get over a cough because of this. But there are other things to consider. You can get a type of asthma related to having been sick and this airway irritation.
ve had slightly elevated blood pressure (in the 145/85 range) for the last year and have been taking Metoprolol for the last six wks with some benefit blood-pressure-wise (now 137/70). Episodes in last five nights have been increasing in frequency to average five. They wake me up but only seem to last 8 to 35 seconds (mostly, I'd guess, around 12 seconds).I'm guessing my pulse rate goes up to around 140 bpm. Daytimes, I feel and act just fine.
I have arthritis, migraines and asthma. I am on meds for that and put on Metoprolol twice a day to slow my heart since I have had as the doctor says..." A couple of slight adrenaline bursts" Trust me if they were slight, I would hate to see major ! I also have bouts were I am so tired , the only thing I can do in crash. My back hurts even with the meds for arthritis and migraine meds that should help as he said... I think I may be falling apart !
Can someone who has asthma, panic disorder and tachycardia take a low dose beta blocker since i heard beta blockers are the best for tachycardia? Currently, i am taking 2 mg. zoloft along with 1 mg. clonazepam up to 3 times a day as prescribed by my dr.
These used to keep my heart rate down to below 100, but now they are not working as good.
I've been taking 25 mg metaprolol (extended release) once daily for 5 months. Before the medicine, my blood pressure readings ranged from 130/85 to 160/95. Now, they have been slightly reduced (maybe ranging from 125/82 to 150/90).
Only recently did I start experiencing very noticeable side effects. I say "side effects" only because they seem to weaken and strengthen in sync with the medicine.
Hi. I too have had PSVT my whole life. As I get older (i'm 52), the episodes are more frequent and are harder to stop. My cardio said this is typical.
I'm scheduled for an ablation and am wishing there was an alternative. I take 2 metoprolol in the am and 1 in the pm. Doc says I can only increase it to 2 and 2, that's it. Anyone know of an alternative to ablation?
My episodes last about 30-45 minutes and only stop because I take 1 or 2 beta blockers during the episode.
YES THEY KEPT ME IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 3 DAYS. WHEN I WENT IN MY O2 WAS 93 WHEN I LEFT IT WAS 97-98. I SHOULD MAKE IT CLEAR WHEN IM SHORT OF BREATH I TAKE DEEP BREATH AND THAT HELPS THAN SOMETIME S I FEEL LIKE MY LUNGS ARE TOO HEAVY AND I HAVE THIS URGE THAT I MUST EXHALE SLOWLY AND COMPLETELLY. THAT ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL BETTER.
I have read through your posts here and elsewhere and it seems to me you have had repeated cardiac workups over the years that indicate your cardiovascular system is basically OK, except maybe for a little hypertension.
Still, you have symptoms that really bother you. One of these is seasonal coughing that may be asthmatic.
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
Metoprolol caused me hair loss....Bystolic has slowed it down somewhat....
Hello -- I want to thank you right off the bat for reading this. I'm a 20 year old female, and about one month ago as I was laying in bed, my cat (he's huge, and very powerful) jumped from the windowsill over my bed and pounced me in the upper stomach, a few inches above my belly button, between the lower parts of my ribs. I was winded, and about five or ten minutes later became very shaky and light-headed, and had to run immediately to the bathroom, where I ... eliminated, copiously.
emphasema, exercise induced asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis And I've been in and out of afib at least 2 years and I suspect much longer. Recently having high blood pressure issues.
she is responding well to properly adjusted dose metoprolol. bp not an issue. she has a mechanical aortic valve. we think this may have caused a dilation of left atrium and maybe set off afib. she is 70, but is one of u.s.a. top masters track and field athletes. no diabetes or weight problems, and very good diet. cardioversion (electric) is probably an option. i have read studies that indicate even with a somewhat dilated atrium it should still probably work.
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.
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.
