Metoprolol Withdrawal (Page 123)

Updated

i've been taking metoprolol for several years as partial treatment for high blood pressure. through diet and exercise, i've lowered my BP to the point my doctor says drop the metoprolol.

i did, 3 days ago, and i'm soooo tired, dizzy, irritable, and my vision is blurred.

is this withdrawal? how long will it last?

i remember starting this medication was terrible to get used to. it appears that stopping it is just as bad.

Yeah I will. All This started after I had my gallbladder removed :::insert eye roll::: I didn’t have acid issues before

Also I had my first vaccine a weeks ago today but today and about two days ago I’ve had body aching. Could it be the vaccine a week later? I didn’t have any reaction right after I had the vaccine

If it helps I don’t see why you wouldn’t. I mean no sense in constantly worrying. Or developing a worsening heart condition.

I guess I’m just worried because of what we went through with metoprolol. I have ptsd from that LOL

IST can’t get worse and some people choose to go Unmedicated but I think I’d rather try to see if it will reset the sinus node. Somedays for me are really good & normal, and others like yesterday my HR is overall higher. So annoying

I just don’t want to get addicted to another med and have a whole crazy wean off process and then horrible rebound symptoms.

Do you or Juliya Have an Apple Watch?

I started the med today and tonight at dinner my watch was skipping around, 35, 75, 105, 45 then back to the normal 90 HR and I’m
Pretty sure it was glitching. But since I started the med today I’m kinda freaking that maybe it’s making my heart go crazy. I really think it’s just the watch because it’s happened before but here we go with something else to stress about.

Has your watch done this? If you have a watch

I have an Apple Watch series 6. I have not had that issue. There are side effects when starting any medication until the body adjusts to it being there, which can take a couple of weeks. If you’re worried call your cardiologist to check since you have loop recorder.

Pretty sure it’s a watch glitch. It doesn’t always happen but I’ve seen it happen before when wearing an oximeter and the oximeter never changed. But since I just started the new med, I’ll call and just make sure it wasn’t really doing

Re: Juliya (# 2458) Expand Referenced Message

Gah I thought I responded.

So tomorrow marks a week and it was going good. Has lowered my hr especially more so when walking around. But today I woke up and felt super funky/dizzy/and like I was seeing double although I wasn’t. Just super funky. So now I’m like great!

Also someone in a group I’m in said that their dr. Said it can cause sinus sick syndrome but all the research I’ve seen, I haven’t heard sinus sick syndrome as a side effect.

Now I’m just confused on what to do. I don’t want to start a med to have it cause more issues later.

I’m so annoyed with all of this: have you heard anything else about Corlanor?

How are you feeling?

Re: RV (# 2457) Expand Referenced Message

I did. Once I went to the GI doc and got put on the PPI I was able to start gaining weight again. I also have a Endo appointment this week to address the blood sugars. Once I get those under control I’m sure I’ll be able to put on more weight. Carbs and sugars help with weight gain and I’m stuck just eating protein.
