Metoprolol stopped working / quad bypass surgery

[Crr7171]

I have been taking 50mg of Metoprolol since I had quad bypass 9 weeks ago. It has kept my blood pressure down into normal range but about a week ago I started getting slight pain in my arms, under my shoulder blades and shortness of breath when active and moving around. I also noticed that my blood pressure went up, from 125/75 to 155/95 on average. It’s like my meds stopped working. I went from 50mg to 100mg and although it lowered it some it’s not down to where it was and it fluctuates a lot.

Anyone experience anything like this?

Thanks!

Is that your BP 155/95 moving around or still?

Still

In the circumstances I think this falls outside the knowledge of us here at Atrial Fibrillation Association so suggest that you speak to your cardiologist.

Call your surgeon! My father in law had similar issues after his quadruple bypass. It turned out he had an infection.
