I got a script last year because i have SVT heart attacks sometimes from coughing to much from allergy. I only take them when i can not get it to quit on my own. So far i have only had to take one.I got them when i went to the er because i couldn't get it to quit. Both over/under blood pressures are almost the same and pulse rate around 172 or higher. Afterwards it feels like you have just finished a marathon. In layman's terms the damn pump is cavating.

Not sure the dose, but have taken it for years. I'm like aj300mag. Keeps my heart rate low.
Wasn't told to avoid it before a stress test, they wore my arse out trying to get my heart rate up. It would not go up. So they did a chemical one.
PS you never want a chemical stress test. It was bad cop, interrogating someone, terrifying. I was seriously making deals with God! I've had two chemical stress tests in the last 10 years. Piece of cake.

I skip my morning isosorbide dinitrate/hydralizine if I’m climbing trees or ladder stands. I don’t head out with waffles, hashbrowns, eggs, sausage and gravy at 0500 on my gut.
So my stomach is empty,
Rather my vena cava be rigid when I’m 16ft up. That iso makes me loopy
I don’t know who dafuk eats all dat sheeit or has time to when trying to beat the sunrise.
😃 I avoid trying to beat the sunrise nowadays. At Medicare age +, I had never beaten it in all those years when younger. It always wins the fight. Why keep trying when the dang thing just keeps coming up. Almost like it's destined to do so.

They did the chemical test on me as well as some kind of moving picture show/with sound of my heart.
They said that folks have told them it would feel like you got kicked in the chest by a horse.
To me it just tasted bad.
I had had 4 attacks before the picture show and had no damage to the heart,they were more concerned about the back of the heart.
And it was tough to get all of that slime they use off my chest and back afterwards.
The shower at home felt good.

I've got to where I count mine when I pick them up at the pharmacy. They're the most expensive one I take. They fooled me today and gave me all the metoprolol and shorted me 10 of the amlodipine.
Do the hood rats do something special with their stolen BP/ cardiac meds ?
I've always had vivid/strange dreams anyway, so I don't notice any extra effects from the metoprolol. I always seem to be starting a new job, so does that count as a nightmare? I always wake up before I can find the employees restroom

Should also ask while the door is open
Anybody have the crotch artery cut open and have nerve damage from it? After I got to leave the hospital, about a week after my leg stopped working and I had to go back for a couple of days for observation. It would still happen occassionally and was as if a switch controlling my right side of my body as if I were having a stroke, but they swore up and down there was no sign of a stroke A friend had the same problem, but they were telling him he was having strokes with apparently no damage at all JMHO- they cut nerves, but won't admit to it, and getting a doctor to tell off on another doctor is impossible unless they'll make money off of it My primary care physician at the time just almost barely confirmed my suspicions, but never would go that far

Ranger, my BIL had a similar result from having a stent implanted that way. Sis says he has recovered. Best of luck to you.

Weight gain. I couldn`t shed my winter weight after starting Metoprolol. Went off of it and got back down to my normal weight.

Metoprolol, Amlodine, and Losartan for the past 6 months and it has given me issues. Talked to Dr. and he reduced Metroprolo by 50% but still have no energy, before this I was on the go all day long, now I am at maybe 10% of my old self on this stuff. Anyone have days that you just feel like crap all day long and don't want to do anything?

I take one, 25 mg Metoprolol succinate, once in the morning. So far, the only negative is vivid dreams and a couple of nightmares.
Good news is my heart doesn't race like it did before taking the Metoprolol and I feel better. Time will tell.

I take 25 mg Metoprolole twice a day. Weird dreams that are quite vivid in the fact that I sometimes remember them. Only one nightmare that I can recall. Feel like a bloody zombie in the morning but usual seem to be almost normal by noon. I seem to have a problem keeping my weight down to some degree. Got started on that pill the first week in march this year. Had a heart attack, my first on 27 February 2021. On chemical stress tests, it've had a couple or three. Hate them with a royal purple passion. Feels like an elephant slowly lowering his butt on my chest.
