Metoprolol when you have bradycardia?

[Autumn822]

I sometimes have resting heart rate in the mid-fifties my cardiologist has prescribed me 25 mg metoprolol half in the morning half at night my resting heart rate this evening is 54 concerned about taking metoprolol ..that is my other half of the pill tonight with this heart rate already 54. I've just started taking it today. Any thoughts I would appreciate it I'm so confused as to what to do anymore taking it for psvt and for eptopics. I have put off starting this medication due to my bradycardia but yesterday I had a terrible incident with psvt.

Had resting HR of 40 and GP said bit low but how u feel & tbh felt okay, so don’t worry, takes a few weeks to level, but mine crept back up to around 55 at rest

I had 3x CABG in February of this year. My doctor is aware that my heart rate is in the 50s and occasionally drops below 50. I was concerned about this as well, but my doctor also said that unless I am fainting or feeling dizzy, it's OK. If it stayed below 50, then it could be a concern. I am also on 5 mg of Bisoprolol. My point is, I can relate, but you should be OK.

Thank you for your kind reply! 🌷Assuming you are taking metoprolol can you tell me has it helped you and also what was the timeline for you to start seeing benefits if so? Thanks again!

I didn't feel any different as to what benefits it provides. I just take it that the doctors who put me on it, know what they are doing.

Oh my goodness I hate to think I would be taking it and it not make any difference!

You have to be weaned off this drug.
