Stormie74 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 My cardio added an evening dose of my beta blocker (Metoprolol) to my regimine, but now I feel like my bp and heart rate are too low. I feel like I'm dragging all the time. Is anyone else having problems like this?Caron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give it a few days or even a week to see if you get used to it, but I think you will know. I could not tolerate beta blocker that I am on twice a day because it kept me awake. After 3 bad nights of no sleep when I had been sleeping pretty well with Restoril I knew it was the med. Beta blockers are famous for making one feel dragging as you put it.

peppermint patty Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I am currently taking a beta blocker twice a day, but as of yesterday my doctor is taking me off of it. I am hoping that after I am off of it, my severe fatigue will stop.---Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I really think the best thing to do is to get a blood pressure cuff and keep track at home. This is so helpful for doctors. Your body does adjust after some time but there are so many beta blockesr they may be a better one for you. I am in nadolol once a day a bedtime. But I have been on many others. This one is the best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartcats Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I take mine two to three times a day (depending on when I get up and all that), but it's a low dose. I take Propranonol and really like it.I guess if this one isn't working great for you, you can talk to your doctor to adjust the dose? And you always can try a different one there are so many available?It does take a bit to adjust to one, I noticed, but mine has REALLY helped me.

Potsie007 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Hi Caron,I too am on Metoprolol and had exactly the same experience. I asked my doctor about it and he said I could try 1 pill in the a.m. and only 1/2 pill in the evening. This dosage has worked perfectly for me. Ask your doctor if you can do the same. Let me know if it works for you!Good luck,007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
