I agree with tallguy. You should gather some information from your doctor before using this medication. It works to reduce your blood pressure. Also, may prescribe off-label for anxiety disorder. Metoprolol starts working within an hour or 2, you should start feeling the effect during the first week. But, when or if you start taking it, never stop abruptly. As beta blockers can cause heart problems and increase your blood pressure or make health conditions worse, so I’ll suggest you speaking with your health care provider.

Always good to write questions for your primary care physician. Important to ask what specifically is the drug metoprolol being prescribed for? Metoprolol is primarily used to control blood pressure. High blood pressure can affect anxiety. Stress and anxiety can affect reflux. Everything in our body is connected in some way. You may need to first focus on getting blood pressure symptoms/issues resolved.
