Low Pulse Rate

Updated

Taking Metoprolol Tartrate 50 mg twice daily along with Losartan Potassium 25 mg once daily. Pulse rate dropping into low 50's and high 40's. I am concerned by the low pulse rate as it causes me to be feel weak and generally unwell.

Hello, Roadrunner! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having.

It is most likely due to the Metoprolol, which the FDA classifies as a beta blocker, it is listed in the detailed side effect information that it is known to do this in some people that take it.

Other side effects may include nausea, headache, dizziness, hypotension, increased urination and stomach pain.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this issue, yet? You may need to lower your dose, or switch to a different medication.
