Question: I am 49 yrs old. Diagnosed last year with hypertension and tachycardia. My b/p is 145/97 with pulse of 117. I have a headache and feel like I am listening thru a tunnel. I take 100mg toprol ST Dailey but neglected to take the past 2 days. Should I be concerned?

Brief Answer:
No you need not but take it as soon as possible

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome
Things is Dr Sameer cardiologist
Toprol(Metoprol) not only controls your bp but it also keeps the heart rate controlled.
Skipping it will only cause both of them to rise.
So take it as soon as possible and monitor your heart rate and bp regularly.
Thanks and take care.
