Hi Autumn822

I thought I would start looking to see if there are any answers to some questions I have. Just came across your question .... no replies, I see. I'm struggling and Metoprolol has been suggested as a last alternative to me. Interestingly you mention SVT and the ectopics. Might I please ask ... are you doing research or have a problem yourself? Please let me know. Thanks and regards, Denise.

Recently I was prescribed Metoprolol Succinate 5 mg and Ramipril 25 mg daily. It took about a week to improve my condition of Sick Sinus Syndrome with Tachycardia to an almost regular pulse between 70 and 80 Bpm and to a less irritated mental condition. It is a combination of beta blocker and an ace inhibitor. This dose combination may work for others.

Sincere apologies for not replying Autumn, everything is a mess. I knew you had written, so I had to find you. How are you doing now - any better? I've not taken the Metoprolol and they know. I thought I should, but then read the contra-indications and from memory, there were three issues, one of which was regarding heart block. I do have first degree, but I have seen some longer flat lines and it frightens me. There's no one to talk to because everyone has thousands of patients. Two months down the line Autumn, do let me know how it's going. I'm back on line and will keep on top of things.
