@Matt78  I'm so happy you are on the other side of your recovery but so sorry you were so very ill.  You don't mention if you are having any symptoms when your HR rises or if you are experiencing any other symptoms post infection.  But it sounds as though the metoprolol was doing its job to keep your HR at a lower range.  Even a low dose serves a purpose so if your doctor has prescribed it at a low dose for the near future, I would stick with it.  You are correct that when coming off any medication there can sometimes be a "bounce-back" effect, meaning symptoms seem to increase temporarily for a short period of time before levelling out.  For example, prednisone can be used for inflammatory conditions but for some patients the inflammation can go back up for a short time when coming off the drug.  In your case though, I would stick to the treatment your doctor is recommending.  Your body went through a very traumatic event, try and be patient and give your body lots of time to heal.  We are happy to have you here, best of luck for continued healing.  

"Being an American" begins with "all men are created equal" which is why as Americans we should all be concerned that all of our citizens have the same rights to health care, as well as the many other basic necessities of life.  Thank you for your comment.

Battery powered fans are a great way to beat the heat! They supply a cooling breeze anywhere. Ryobi makes one that uses their 18V tool batteries. Powerade makes single serve powder packets that are clear in water.

Great suggestion MarkA.  The one I had died last summer and I have been borrowing my granddaughter's fan over the winter months.  But she is sure to want it back this summer.  I will check out the Ryobi - I like the idea of the 18V tool battery.  Thanks.
