For High Blood Pressure "I have been on this for about 10 years. First 50 mg 2x daily and now for the past 2 years 25 mg 2x daily, this is due to weight loss. It controls my high BP. Sometimes I have a fast heartbeat, but that seems to be my only side effect."

"Two months ago, my husband had a tarry stool! We went to the ER! He had also experienced high pulse rates. They did a colonoscopy and upper G.I., found nothing! O2 was at 95% after the procedure, he was on 3 liters of O2! Started him on 12.5 mg twice daily. Now experiencing many side effects, including rapid pulse, shortness of breath, a raised rash, and today his face started to swell! His voice sounds different as well! Also has edema, cold intolerance, and is fidgeting! This was inappropriate medication, as he’s never had a heart attack, angina, or chest pain. Pulse increase started after Prevnar 13 shot! ER only found CO2 level increasing, so he’s now on a BIPAP! The only good thing we discovered from the ER trip! The doctor said to cut the dosage in half for a week, then only a quarter dose for one week! I’m worried, and he’s not the same as before anesthesia! Too much was given!"

For High Blood Pressure "I had to stop taking Metoprolol as it gave me an irregular heartbeat. Rapid pulse and did not lower my blood pressure. I had to stop taking it."
