For High Blood Pressure "I started on a different bp medicine and one day I was yelling at my son and my heart began racing, I thought I was having a heart attack I got real dizzy so my mom took me to the hospital. They ran tests and I was fine, a while later I began waking up with a racing heart 140's. For a few days I believe it was just stress, but my doc changed my meds to Metoprolol. I've been on it for 10 years, at one point I lost 30lbs and it made my BP too low so I was taken off it for a year then got into a stressful situation and vitals back up so they put me back on. I never had any issues with this pill it keeps my BP normal and sometimes low and my heart rate is always low/normal. Somedays it gets too low in the low 60s and I'll get up and jump around lol I know that's not bad but for me I don't like it that low. When I first began the pill I was tired, nauseous and dizzy but my body is used to it now. I never had a heart attack nor heart problems and I took many tests even wore a monitor for a month."

For High Blood Pressure "In Nov. 2019 I had a single bypass and my aortic valve was replaced. Due to my high blood pressure, I was put on metoprolol 25mg twice daily. I also had a 'small' stroke a few days after surgery. I recovered, after therapy. Then I noticed some side effects. It felt like I was walking in molasses. Very sluggish, low energy. Then ED got so bad I had no sexual function! Then, in May I was mowing the lawn and stepped off the drive onto uneven ground and fell. I was holding the grass catcher and it pinched my finger. My daughter (a nursing student) thought I had suffered some severe problem and 'insisted' I go to the ER. During their examination they asked me if anyone had ever told me I had a low heart rate. I said, 'no', my pulse has always been normal. In May I was told to only take 1/2 a tablet twice a day and see my cardiologist. I just saw him and he said there are better meds, IF I need one. My BP is now normal."

For High Blood Pressure "Gosh, I cannot believe all of the bad reviews. I love Metoprolol. It works for my body. Helps me sleep. I take 25 mg tartrate 2x daily, though sometimes I just take 12.5 mg 2x daily. I tried the succinate for the first month and it made my extremities cold. I switched to the tartrate and have been having a great time since. It goes very well with beer too."

"Prescribed by cardiologist, 25 mg twice daily for PVC, PAC, tachycardia . Decided to self dose as my heart rate would go too low, especially during sleep into high 30s low 40s. Cut 25 mg into 12.5 dose and took only as needed when a heart rate stayed elevated for a prolonged period of time. Some oedema in one lower leg. Continuing to self dose but would like to get off this drug"

For Heart Attack "I was started on Metoprolol Tartrate for Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia and Long QT syndrome. At first I was on 25 once a day. That did nothing. Increased to 25mg twice a day. Still did nothing. Was increased to 100MG twice a day and it brought my heart rate down but not a lot and was still having a lot of symptoms. My usual resting without the medication is 130bpm and when I exercise it gets as high as 220 bpm. I get palpitations, SOB, fainting and etc. My most recent cardiac monitoring indicated needing to increase my dose so I was increased to 150 MG twice a day. My resting rate is on average 86 bpm now and they don't want to increase the metoprolol anymore so they're adding Ivabradine to the metoprolol. Its a good med and it has lowered my heart rate and lowered symptoms just not enough for me to be comfortable."

For High Blood Pressure "I have been on 50mg of metoprolol tartrate 2x a day for 10 years and it controls my afib pretty good. The last month I've had 2 episodes each lasted 3 days, which I've never had an episode last this long, bumped up dosage to 75 mg which doctors have told me it's ok to do if I'm in afib. In the past this has gotten my heart back in rhythm, but doesn't seem to have the same effect these last two episodes. Not sure what's putting me in afib, going to see doctor this week."

For Heart Attack "After years of heavy drinking finally caught up with me. I was blue-lighted to the hospital with irregular heartbeat, cold shivers, & dizziness. Prescribed Metoprolol 50mg, 1 morning & 1 nighttime, which kept me calm but brought blood pressure & heart rate to 100/65 & 49 bpm. Changed dosage with doctor's agreement to 25mg, 1 morning & 1 nighttime. Now at 135/77 & 55 bpm with minor irregular heartbeat during sleep/resting. Feels like after cutting my drinking to recommended units per day, my heart is stronger but being held back by my medication. So will suggest a lower dosage with the goal of coming off altogether??"

For Angina "Taking 50 mg (one tablet) in the morning. No side effects but general weakness. Yes, it does its job. I am very thanked. Never changed it by now, I am 70 years old."
