Reviews for metoprolol systemic to treat Angina

Lopressor (metoprolol): I have Angina and over the past year began a regime of Bayer (or Bufferin) starting at 500mg every morning. Things got a little worse after six months and I upped my dosage to 1000mg per day. This was all self medication without medical consult (I knew what the problem was). Finally even the 1000mg a day wasn't working and I went to see the doctor. He put me on 50mg of Lopressor per day and things turned around within 2 days. The pain is gone and I can get a whole nights sleep without waking up in the middle of the morning (usually 3-4am, when the incidence of heart attack is the highest statistically) in major pain. So far so good. If you have Angina then DO see a doctor. Get the tests! After all, it's really your life your dealing with.

metoprolol: I HAVE BEEN USING METOPROLOL FOR 2 MONTHS FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND ANGINA. IT HASN'T DONE MUCH FOR MY BLOOD PRESSURE (BP) AS OF THIS DATE, BUT HAS HELPED MY ANGINA AND FAST HEART RATE IS UNDER CONTROL. HERE'S HOPING SOON I'LL SEE A NICE REDUCTION IN MY BP. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE IT.
