Beta blocker trouble!!!

[Barb0525]

So I found out I have PAF it usually only comes every two years, yes weird I know. Anyway Dr put me on metoprolol succ 25mg once a day I took it for like 24 days and it made my pacs worse,not to mention I had like a flutter for like a min or two had to pull off the road. Now Dr also gave me metoprolo tartrate 25mg as well to take with the other if I get an episode. So o took it bc I was scared with the flutter no pacs nothing so I said let me switch. I only get like 1,2 of a PAC/pvc but otherwise ok. I take it now since the 18th 12.5 bid. As anyone had any problems with this beta blocker before?

It is possible you have vagal induced PAF.

Do your symptoms fit?

Doctor put me on bisoprolol which is similar, it made me feel terrible so i came off it after 2 weeks, i will see the heart speciaalist in 5 weeks. it was for the flutters and ectopic beats

Beta blockers can do strange things to your sleep pattern. Some more than others. Have an in depth conversation with your doc if you experience problems.

Yes I've been on 50 mg of the er once a day . I hate the side effects flutters palpitations everything it's suppose to stop . You have to watch your caffeine while on it . There is a lot of different herbs and medicines that don't go with the toprol and can make the palpitations a lot worse .

I agree you have to watch herbs and all on this stuff . I’ll try a different supplements to calm be down then find out it effects the beta blocker . I hate this stuff it ruins your way of life
