Metoprolol

[bushy2016]

Hi all Ive come off amiodarone due to side effects now Ive been given Metoprolol 25mg to take when Im in AF at my usual 160 bpm due to me having bradycardia 1 minute then Supraventricular tachycardia the next...anyone else take Metoprolol when needed

I take Metoprolol daily along with my Flecainide, but only a quarter of a 25mg tablet morning and night. I have to take great care with Metoprolol as once in hospital it took my BP and pulse down dangerously low and I collapsed. However, I think it's just me that's affected that way as the doctors were shocked at the effect. Many years ago I took Metoprolol, just half a tablet as needed and it was the only drug that I absolutely knew would bring a halt my tachycardia. My GP once commented, 'I don't know why they made that tablet so strong'. Just be aware.

I'm on metoprolol 100mg 3 x a day and have been for a year no side effects that I have found but my HR is around 100/120 constantly sorry still not have the worry of it dropping to low
