Experiences with

Metoprolol / Hydrochlorothiazide

HIgh BP isnt my primary condition. Have been on BP medication for years now and it has been very stable at around 115/80. My diastolic years before had been on the high side. Am on CANDESARTAN HCTZ 16mg/12.5 mg as my BP a few months ago was actually quite low at 115/80 Jan last year. At one time it

I've had rls since I was in my teens. I'm now 66 years old. About 6-7 years ago, I was finally diagnosed with RLS, and given a medication that I can't recall the exact name of, but it was something like lebadopa carbadopa?? Anyway, that worked very well for me at first, but after a few months it would

update on pcp visit Thursday august 8, 2024. Labs drawn, calcium now 9.7 range 8.8-10.3. Headaches! BP 150/100, started on HCTZ 25mg, did not effect BP and I broke out in mild hives! I have my appointment with the surgeon this Wednesday the 14th, I sure hope I’m not going to be on a roller coaster! Pathology

Hello I am moving country, and I will be unable to get Metoprolol 25mg It only comes in 100mg , it’s really not desirable to split into 4 , My EP wants me to stay on this dosage as it’s working and I’m highly sensitive to meds , last time med was changed ended up in the ER again with AFib I’m thinking

Hello! I have AFib that was diagnosed in July of 2024. I am a 50 year old male (49 at the time of AFib episode) I am on 50 mg of Metoprolol XL twice a day. I was on Amiodarone and Eliquis as well but the Electro Cardiologist doctor took me off these. He said the Amiodarone isn’t needed and if I need

I am almost six months post PFA ablation for persistent afib and atypical aflutter. I have been doing well recovering from ablation with zero heart events despite a bad procedure outcome of pneumonia, collapsed lung,and resulting fluid in chest, requiring thoracentesis. Finally nearly resolved. 😮‍💨

I'm concerned about adrenal insufficiency, but can't get GP to hear me. My BP has been what I would call low, since at least before Christmas. Two days ago it was 116/52 and 109/41. I am on two BP meds, Perindopril and Metoprolol. I'm thinking maybe I need to taper off one of them? Mentioned this to

hello everyone. I need advice;) I am a 50 YO male who takes Metoprolol XL For AFib. I was diagnosed in July of last year. I was on 100 mg Metoprolol XL twice daily. My heart rate was too low according to my Primary Care Doctor. I called my Cardiologist and let him know. They lowered my dosage

I have had eighteen Afib incidents since April, 2024 -- four of them from late April through late June, then nothing until Sept. 7, three days after knee replacement surgery. From Sept. 7 until Nov. 16, I had thirteen incidents, then nothing until two weeks ago, when I had a one hour incident late at

I am 64 years old and was diagnosed with Afib December of 2024. Before that I had two occurrences, which were 2 months apart and went away on their own. My doctor prescribed PIP Metoprolol, to take when I have Afib, because I fall into the low risk category. Since December I’ve had three Afib occurrences

I was diagnosed with afib in 2009. My cardiologist recently retired. I have been on Flecanide since being diagnosed and it has worked well with only 1 episode since (that I know of )in 2020. The new cardiologist that I am seeing was very concerned that I was not on Metoprolol along with Flecanide.

Has anyone found a change in a-fib symptoms through the years? I'm in a-fib at the moment -- last one was 3 weeks ago -- and this one presented with extreme sweating when it first began. Metoprolol calmed that down after 45 minutes, but I'm still going strong. I've never had this symptom before and

Hello, I am new to this boards but so fed up, starting to feel like I'm a basket case. I have mitral valve prolapse. About 5 years ago I started getting worse and worse palpatations. I've always had them on and off my whole life but really started to get noticeable here the last few years. I have

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my journey with microvascular dysfunction which led to a MINOCA (Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries) despite having a normal ejection fraction (59%). I experience chest pain, breathlessness, and fatigue, often triggered by stress or exertion

I am 26 years old, and recently, while I was just relaxing, my heart suddenly started beating very fast and wouldn’t slow down, even after trying controlled breathing. I went to the emergency room and was admitted because my heart rate reached 200 bpm. With medical intervention, it eventually returned

My husband started Apixiban 5 mg twice a day after an AFib episode in late November (mostly likely due to his worsening sleep apnea according to the doctors). He tolerates most medications well but after six weeks on Apixiban and Metoprolol his liver enzymes were suddenly elevated. Has anyone else experienced

I’m wondering if anyone on Apixiban has had liver issues. My husband had one episode of AFib and the doctors put him on Apixiban and within six weeks his liver enzymes were elevated. He is also on metoprolol. I take both and never had liver issues, and he usually tolerates medications well.

I developed afib 12 years ago after surgery to replace my mitral valve (pig valve). Due to that and some other arrhythmia episodes I was put on flecainide and baby aspirin in addition to the metoprolol I was already on. I also ended up with a pacemaker. The arrhythmias have been well controlled until

I’ve been having daily sporadic episodes (for the past few days, many times a day) of bigeminy. I try not to think about them but I can *feel* them, & they don’t resolve quickly. I’ve tried mostly all the intervention strategies (except getting into a cold shower) but no luck. Why am I getting so
