My way of avoiding metoprolol side effects was to get off of it as well as my other 3 long term BP meds after going on a keto diet and losing 50 pounds including my belly fat. When I had my yearly physical in January my doctor told me that I'm a pharmaceutical company's worst nightmare because at age 68 I'm no longer on any meds at all.

@youseffarawila8125 3 года назад

Way to go. Stay away from all blood pressure medications. I heard (please verify independently) that some BP medications use the same receptors used by Covid-19 virus. That is why high BP increases Covid-19 complications. Not because of BP itself, but because of its medications. Make careful transitions to natural ways with diet and exercise under medical supervision because quitting these drugs suddenly can be dangerous.

@stevec3872 3 года назад

@listening4lessons I had no fear about cholesterol since mine was good overall. The most important predictor of heart health is the triglyceride/hdl ratio and it should be 2 or less. My triglycerides, which had not been high, dropped to 56 and my hdl, which was borderline ok at 41 rose to 76. Therefore my ratio is .74 which is very good. My ldl did rise from 108 to 131 which is just borderline high, but keto is not concerned with ldl and neither was my doctor. Clearly, since I lost 40 pounds on a high fat diet, eating high fat does not cause you to gain weight--high carb consumption does that.

@piercebales9546 3 года назад

I'm 68 also and have recently been on a number of meds including metoprolol. I do not trust my cardiologist because I do not know enough to know if he sees me as a cash cow to perform a lot of un-necessary treatments on or if he is on the up and up. Thing is I don't believe I ever had high blood pressure.

You are a rare physician who addresses harmful side effects of medications. Usually they focus only on what they can help. Important to weigh benefits to risks and to suggest natural alternatives before medicating.

@ThinkYourHealth 3 года назад

Benefits vs risks.Preventive medicine and lifestyle changes should be emphasized.

I was put on this after being diagnosed with a slight arrhythmia, the side effects I suffered were, a constant headache, watery eyes, runny nose, swollen ankles, aching joints, and struggled to walk up the hill on the street I lived on, and a feeling of the plug had been pulled from my battery. I had an appointment with a specialist and described the symptoms that I was experiencing and was told that the med was not for me and should stop taking it. I was later informed that i had been over diagnosed.

@libharriss996 10 месяцев назад

I had nighttime hallucination…cardiac doctors were not so accepting of this…they kept asking if I was dreaming…my primary MD listened to me and switched the medication…hallucinations went away but the medication was not as effective….on call cardiology doc asked me to try the metoprolol again…hallucinations came back so they were finally convinced it was the medication…

@Tiguar Jagger Sorry but the last time I excercized was 1957. As far as diet I ignore the low fat high carb nonsense and cholesterol is helpful not harmful. Keep taking the BP stuff like I have and take any advice with a grain of salt. Salt is absolutely required for the body to function without it you die. I do as much keto diet as I can stomach in order to keep the Blood Sugar under control. Keep praying and outlive all your sick relatives, mine all died before they could draw Social Security, I have been drawing mine for 19 years.

I've been on Metoprolol tartrate for 21 years. My current VA doctor cut my dosage by half without asking, then she let my prescription lapse, no refills available. The VA has left me without meds many times over the years. It affects my health negatively. Right now, I have been out of another med I have to take daily, for 3 weeks. I have called and asked for new script/refills 3 times. They said she can't write any of my meds till she sees me in office. Yet, it can be weeks or months before you get an appointment. Over the years with the VA, they have left me in a position of not having the meds I need every day, causing my health to be bad.

Following a quadruple bypass I was put on Metropolol. I still was in a-fib. However, my overall physical condition was quite strong, even resumed working out to a degree, perhaps a little sooner than they had prescribed, but it worked out fine. Then after taking it for perhaps a month or two, it hit me like a freight train. My energy dropped off the table, I was getting dizzy with even a small expenditure of energy. I asked some of my more knowledgeable natural healers and they knew about the toxic end of Metropolol. I immediately stopped taking it, informed my doctor and he was OK with it. My strength returned soon after and my path to getting better resumed. This was nearly 5 years ago and I have eliminated all but two pharmaceuticals for my heart condition. Going more natural sorry big pharma, you lost me.

Thank you for the information on the drug metoprolol. I just started to take it in April. I never knew all the side effects. Thank you

Of all the meds I take, Metoprolol affected me more than any of the others. I've never felt the same since I started taking it.

I've been on metoprolol for a long time. I've been losing my hair faithfully with dryness and, I didn't know it could be my medicine. I thought it was due to my thyroid. Thanks DOCTOR.

@ThinkYourHealth 2 года назад

Welcome.

@Trid2bnrml1 Год назад

It still might be your thyroid. Did you know that an iodine deficiency can mimic HBP by making your heart beat faster? I didn't. Look it up yourself and get a clean iodine supplement. You might want to take it for a couple of weeks and go get your thyroid functions checked, and revisit your BP status. You might be surprised.

I was diagnosed with type two diabetes in October and put on this medicine in November for AF. In the last seven months between these two medication’s I’ll have put on approximately 8 pounds. I am not happy about this because I have changed my diet and I am exercising every day. I think this medicine has some positive effects and I have not had any other bad side effects. I am just unhappy about the weight gain because I have always had a high metabolism. I don’t want to become a pyramid pill popper! Going to the cardiologist today to discuss this. Thank you for the excellent video and information!

I have tried different beta blockers for anxiety and every time I get severe cramping and diarrhea. Kind of negates the point if you take it for anxiety. I could take ex lax and it wouldn't do what beta blockers do.

Metoprolol made me feel very unwell after only a few doses. I had extreme fatigue to the point of not wanting to even get out of bed.

@gloriamaryhaywood2217 3 года назад

Right at first it did make me feel very tired. Lowered the dose to about half and feel much more like my old self again!

@judithpetree6329 3 года назад

@@gloriamaryhaywood2217, I didn't really continue with that medication since it was substituted for another of my B/P meds, Atenolol, when there was a temporary shortage of it. Another pharmacy had it in stock so the problem was solved pretty fast. According to my pharmacist, sometimes it is the additives in the medication rather than the medication itself that a person is sensitive to. I'm glad you found a solution to your problem with it.

@@judithpetree6329 Good for you! Tbh, I wish I didn't have the need to take ANY beta-blocker much less blood-thinner, but unfortunately they are necessary evils!😉 Thankfully, so far my body chemistry seems to have adjusted well for the most part! Thanks for replying,😊 and I'm glad you found a solution, coz it sucks feeling so drained of energy all the dang time!! (Btw...

@Hody491 3 года назад

Informative Video, Thank you! Has anyone experienced bluish/purplish hands and feet especially whenever you're in large rooms and hallways with temperatures normally around 65 degrees (Not freezing, just chilly). For me, it starts about half way down around the forearms then a dark shade of blue or purple in the hands and fingers. If you press down on the skin, it immediately turns white, then back to the darker shade. I work in a county prison that doesn't ever seem to warm up and I thought I heard that Metoprolol can cause this in skin when chilled. I use the Tartrate (twice daily) for previous artery blockages which caused the need for a quadruple bypass 14 years ago and fine since using Vytorin for Cholestrol. Thank you!

Nothin presented explains why my symtoms became worse each time the doseage was increased. I watched this video because I wanted an idea as to why I feel worse NOT to make negative comments...

This was very helpful. My dad has started a very horrible cough that is persistent since the start of this medication, for about seven months now. Also, he feels more leg nerve pain. So much that his dr put him on Gabapentin. Did the dr just mask his side effects with Gabapentin?

So glad to have found this video - my mom was just diagnosed w/A-fib and also has some edema- was prescribed this med (100 mg) along w/furosemide and eliquis - her whole personality has changed- depressed, moody and extremely lethargic! I am so upset and have a call into the doctor to stop this medication, My question doctor is- what is an alternative to metoprolol? She took Lisinopril for years with no side effects - can she go back on that? Thanks again!
