Many thanks fingers crossed!!!

Hi Lindyloo. This may have nothing to do with a fib but some years ago before afib. I was given metoprolol for blood pressure probs. I had had asthma as a child but relative few attacks as an adult. Long story short the metoprolol caused an exacerbation of my asthma sx. When my doc confirmed this I was taken off it and haven't had breathing problems since. It is now listed as one of my allergies (causing asthma sx). Just a thought about metoprolol and breathing probs. My doc said this is not an uncommon side effect of some beta-blockers. Worth looking into. irina1975
