I had an ablation and ever since my blood pressure has been slightly high 140/70. Cardiologist put me on Metropolol for the last three years. Three weeks ago he had ultra sound and EKG performed then told me to stop taking Metropolol. I read where stopping Metropolol all at once can bringon bad health effects. I do trust my doctor but I feel sluggish with less energy and maybe at times a little winded. Is it possible that Im having side effects from stopping the Metropolol.
Im so happy to be off all heart medications but not happy if by stopping the Rx my AFIB comes back.
Thanks for listening

Not sure you want this forum, we deal with PMR and GCA ….try this one - healthunlocked.com/bhf
It’s a uk based charity, but as you don’t say what country you are from it may not be the best one for you …or try looking for heart issues - will bring up different forums.
I can appreciate that, and although there may be a few people on here who could offer an opinion, but probably not the knowledgeable advice that you need. I hope you do get that - and take care
I got an ablation too 4 years ago. Got no medication besides blood thinner since then because the ablation stopped the AFib. I got a box of sotalol as rescue medication in case I would get tachycardia. I had not to use it. And then when I got PMR in April 2020 and prednisolone 20 mg/day I got sudden boosts of tachycardia but by then my sotalol was expired. My dose of prednisolone was decreased each month with 1 mg and my tachycardia dissappeared again. I have to continue of course on bloodthinner edoxaban.I weer since my ablation a tracker. First a Fitbit, now a Garmin. I am very active (walking, cycling) and it is reassuring to control heart rhytm and take screen prints for my cardiologist if I am worried.
