I know that Metoprolol overdose feeling; dragging, dull, heavy chest pain. At one point, I was up to 200mg. for a month, so I can relate to what you're feeling. I think you have to weigh the significant risks involving ablation and the location of your accessory pathway vs. drug therapy and living with your condition. How often do your events occur? Are you able to convert them yourself by some means; Valsalva, etc.? At 30 years old, time is on your side.
Hi. I've been on these boards a long time. My last failed treatment had to fail because about 9 weeks into the treatment, I developed retinal hemmorhaging. My husband (we've divorced now, but not because of this). He had to do my shot that night into the back of the forearm because I felt so awful. As he prepared the medication, I had to keep correcting what he was doing.
Aside from hypertension, Metoprolol may be indicated for migraine and angina as well as treatment of heart failure. There are many types of high blood medications and Metoprolol belongs to the beta blockers. Indeed, these can cause a variety of side effects including diminished in sex drive as well as impotence.

Can someone give me either the symptoms or the timeline for an Ibuprofen overdose? And what's going to happen if I don't get treatment? I've taken approx. 40 200mg ibuprofen tablets, 32 hours ago.
I had a near-overdose on crystal meth in June which scared me. Afterward, I underwent many tests on my heart to make sure I had done no damage to it. I had numerous EKGs, chest x-rays, even an echocardiogram. They all came back normal. My question is, I have frequent almost daily palpitations. One doctor had me wear a 48-hour holter monitor, and I took a stress test. I am also now totally drug-free, and I avoid stimulants such as caffeine and alcohol completely. The palpitations just annoy me.
I overdosed two days ago on ibuprofen and still feel off. Should I seek treatment? Would it still help? Would I be a suicide risk?
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 have tried other beta blockers including metoprolol. Metoprolol did not agree with me. It actually caused my heartbeat to race, or jump quickly, when I would get exerted. I went back to atenolol 25 mg.
I am on 100 mg of Metoprolol (and 5 mg of Amlodipine) for high blood pressure. My pulse gets down to 44-48 but I do not feel faint. Should my Amlodipine be increased and my Metoprolol reduced since beta blockers reduce pulse rate?
Increased levels of adrenaline are thought to play a role, often caused by caffeine, exercise or anxiety. Metoprolol, commonly known as Lopressor is a beta blocker. This medication is used in the treatment of high blood pressure, angina (chest pain, usually caused by lack of oxygen to the heart due to clogged arteries, which can cause PVCs), and heart attack.
I've taken Metoprolol for 6 years, and find it ineffective for treating PVC's, at least for me.
Emergency medical treatment should be summoned at the first possible indication of a Ritalin overdose, as a sense of urgency could mean the difference between life and death, in this type of an emergency situation. The treatment protocol for a Ritalin overdose can vary depending on a various factors such as how much of the drug has been taken or if the medication has been combined with alcohol or any other types of drugs.
I am forty plus years and was diagnosed with idiopathic svt/a fib and am on flecainide 100mg bid and metoprolol 50mg bid.i am asymptomatic with these meds but my doctor says i should still have an ablation since flecainide cannot be continued indefinitely due to side effect profile. is the side effect worse than the complications possible from an ablation?
Thanks for your advice. I have been taking the following tablets for hypertension: Morning - Olmesartan (H) 40mg, Metoprolol Succinate Extended Release 25mg; Evening - Olmesartan 40mg, Metoprolol Succinate Extended Release 25mg.
Now, I have been further prescribed for 30 days, which I have started taking: Eltroxin 25mg empty stomach & Zyloric 100mg after breakfast. Kindly advise further.
Doctors also gave resperidone and a sleeping tablet for 2 weeks after treatment I was fine while I was using these tablets.
Switching to taking 25 Metoprolol in the AM seems to have avoided the low BP rate I was getting when I first woke up under the evening dose of Atenolol.
Also, just relaxing, sleeping more, no stimulants (milk instead), reading, massages, all seem to help.....less stress
If I have no serious AFIb episodes for awhile can Coumid be switched to aspirin, can pacemaker be taken out (I know the wire stays)???
