Metoprolol Side Effects | Pharmacist Review | Uses | Precautions 

Thank you for your informative video. It was a pharmacist that warned me when I filled a prescription for lisinopril, that is could cause a cough. Turned out the cough caused my asthma to increase over the next few months. But when I called the cardiologist’s office to report my increased asthma might be caused by that drug. He had the nurse call and ask me “who told me that?”. This was the first realization that he is an arrogant close minded doctor who sees his patients as stupid sheep. He is no longer my doctor, but I didn’t leave with that incident. There were others, but I was now paying attention. We all have to work to understand everything we can about our illnesses and stop following the sometimes bad advice of those brilliant professionals. The comment section is always helpful in these medical videos. I trust the collective experiences of fellow sufferers more than most published official research today. I no longer believe that the educated are the really the educated. This is true especially with the segregated health approach. Doctors know little about natural remedies and nutrition, and usually look down on other methods of medication. But I’m old so I’ve seen a lot.

thank you so much for these videos! they are helping me memorize my drug cards more than anything else

Very well done and informative! Thanks so much

It is good and worthy to learn from a Pharmacist .

I am better informed by your presentation than anything I have been told by other health care providers. Thank you for your straight forward and informative video.

Ringing in both ears with this medication

I'm glad I found your youtube...luv it 😁👏👍

This drug has been literal poison to me. 25mg twice a day because iI got diagnosed with sleep apnea. 2 weeks for something that made me worse than i was before. Panic attack, anxiety, and depression I never had before. Uncontrollable crying and gloom and doom to a point of about feeling suicidal. Insomnia and crazy nightmares. I went to the hospital with 196/94 BP pulse at 115 resting when my BP used to be 120/67 and pulse about 60. I weaned off a couple days and completely stopped. Felt on top of the world immediately. It was making my heart race on small tasks and short of breath. I read 100s of reviews and maybe 10 were people that liked it. Other than that 95% were having the same issues I was having and I was glad I wasnt alone. Learn and be very careful starting this drug. Good luck.

Well-made and made some things clear for me. Thank you.

Your the best 🙏🏽

Very informative

Very through. thanks

Very informative video

I was on Bisoprolol for several years, but unfortunately have been having issues with my blood pressure and heart rate being so high. My Doctor switched me to Metoprolol and I will taking that in the morning and evening today. Hopefully, it will help so I don't have to switch back to higher dose of Bisoprolol and risk low numbers with my vitals. I am in good shape with my medical conditions and hoping that this medication will help rather then cause side effects or not work at all. I use beta blockers for palpitations as well.

Hello,,,I enjoy watching ,,is it OK to take this medication for patients who has hypothyroidism or Not ? Thank you

Thank you for the video. Much appreciated..

I take it for my heart palpitations and it works on 12.5mg a few times a day. Helps with BP too and does bring down my heart rate

I’ve been taking it two months now feeling much better before I started taking it every time i was in a relaxing position my heart ❤️ was feeling like it’ was race in now im better

I will have to remember to pronounce it correctly. I keep calling it Metoprol but thankfully the pharmacist knows what I;m talking about.

Definately fatique and vivid dreaming for me!

After taking metaprolol tartrate for 3 years @ 200 mg[?] per day,i sometimes think the cure is worse than the disease.

I started taking 12.5mg last week and was in the hospital with a blood pressure of 207/134! I never had it this high until I started taking this. Dr. Prescribed this to me for palpitations/abnormal heart rhythm

Right on time. I was about to stop taking it abruptly but now I’ll ask my doctor to reduce the dosage because it make me shake within myself. I was never checked for hypothyroidism and should have been. I am told to take a aspirin everyday also but it makes me bruise.

What about AFIBandMitral valve regurgitation 25o mg pr day plus xeralto and lefopa

Insurance stopped paying for my Cardizem, so for my Marfan Syndrome I now take Irbesartan and Metropilol. Today was my first day on it and I am honestly impressed with how well it controlled my bigeminy arrythmia. Obviously, ARB's on their own aren't sufficient to control rhythm so this is why we added that once I was stable on Irbesartan to reduce aortic dilation. I hope this drug continues to work well for me the longer I am on it. :)

I take Metoprolol. But I use to take Inderal and I miss it's wonderful side effects. Lucid Dreaming at night and creative thoughts you can't shut off during the day time.

I started using it but not every day helps me calm down focus

What foods must avoid while taking this med?? Can my child eat ketchup he was diagnose with svt and doctor gave him this medicine

was on this candy for 6 years. 25mg. I split them in half for 12.5mg. I used to them to lower my blood pressure and heart palpitations. Took this in my early 20s. At first it made me tired but it did wonders for relaxing my heart and suppressed my palpitations. I was 20lbs overweight so I decided to go for runs and weight lifting and eating a balanced calorie meal and I lost 30lbs in 6months. I felt amazing thats for sure. Over the years I slowly gained them back and losing weight on and off. Not sure if it was my age and my metabolism changed and weight gain was a problem. I gained 20lbs and lost 20lbs in my early 30s. I decided to stop taking toprol. I quit slowly but eventually after a two week halt, i felt like my body was release from captivity and i felt even more better. Here is a tip, stop blaming toprol. Its justified, however, that if you are taking 50mg or more, then yes the side effects will be there but its due to your body reacting to foreign chemicals in your body and are trying to get instructions from chemicals that should not be there but overtime it gets used to it. Then when you get off of it, your body stops receiving these instructions and your body has to learn how to get back to normal. During that phase, you get side effects. My case was 12.5mg. Please see your dr before stopping. I stopped mine and my dr said it was safe to quit because I was only taking 12.5mg. A very low dose .My advise is lose weight, portion control what you eat. I worked in medical field and I will say most people who receive toprol are overweight. To those who are not overweight, they are prescribed for people with anxiety or palpitations.

Whats the difference Metropolol Cardiosel OD to the other Metropolol

Great video. Can metoprolol cause short-term memory loss? Asking for my mom. I think the dosage is impacting her memory.

Sir, iam Rohit ,from INDIA, iam having palpitation and high bp and heart ectopic beats from past 18 years.my heart eco is good ,but in ecg many pvc and pac beats seen,now my doctor suggest me to take/start METOPROLOL 12.5MG once daily extended release. Sir my age is 44, plz advice is any side effect of this medicine in this dosage,thankyou.

This medication gives me severve dizziness when standing. Lightheaded, tintling on my head and panic attacks.. it comes in waves. kind of weird since up until 7 days ago i almost had no side effects. Have been taking it for 2,5 weeks now so i'm not going to take this anymore i will take my chances with stopping cold turkey. The dose i'm taking is 25 mg ER.

How long do people usually take metoprolol or do they generally stay on it long term?

What about that it causes low sodium in the blood?

Anyone experienced headaches/ head pressure almost like sinusitis?

I started this 3 weeks ago for my high blood pressure it helped a lot also helped with my anxiety BUT just the past 2 days I’ve been waking up at night with rapid heart beat sucks

Is it true that a person should not eat foods with high amounts of potassium when they are on this medication ?

I take this to control my heart rate. Before I started taking it my heart rate was 128 resting Now it’s normal

Metoprolol blocks the natural secretion of melatonin. It disrupts sleep patterns, blocking the ability to go into REM sleep, which is highly important for brain health. How can the doctors say this is a great drug? Why do you act as if lack of sleep is okay? Until I was put on metoprolol, I never had a problem getting enough sleep. Now I can't stay asleep more than 2 hours! I'm in a living nightmare! I'm working on starting a business, but can't wake up enough to focus on what needs to be done. :( What other medication does what Metoprolol needs to do to help without disrupting sleep (and causing inflammation?) I also have a chronic inflammatory disorder (sarcoidosis) and this is making it worse.

It worked for calming my anxiety at first but now im having an adverse affect

Doc I have mild dizziness with metoprolol after one week for HBP. I feel like I am walking on a boat that is moving up and down in small waves Can you tell me what I can do to get rid of that????? I can't spend my whole life feeling mildly dizzy or like I am walking on a boart MY doctor gave me 25 mg twice a day. Please get back to me, Rob ps, Can I call you about this

Dr. Is there a connection between Metoprolol and Neuropathy!?!?

Now my father have pulmonary heart disease I don’t know how to take medicine

Do certain foods interact?

Can taking metoprolol cause weight gain?

One side effect of beta blockers which is often neglected and apparently not considered relevant is weight gain. I'm on metoprolol since I had a heart attack 6 months ago. I have put on 12 kg of abdominal fat which is 2 kg per month. There's no end in sight. I cannot allow to become obese since that might be an even higher risk factor than a few extra systoles a day. I hoped to halt the weight gain with diets and increased workouts but no chance. I will ask for a substitute.

today is 8/8/22. my Google feed showed me that beta blockers cause a 65% raise in the risk of heart attack in high heat. it's 90° here this week and im bothered. calling my Dr now.

And don't take Berberine supplements while on this drug. Just found out the hard way.

I take 100 mg twice a day no wonder I can't sleep

This crap drug ruined my life
