Hello As you mentioned that you are taking TOPOL xl i.e. metoprolol . This is a beta blockers anti hypertensive mainly used for hypertension , angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction , migraine and thyrotoxicois . You are taking topol for many years BUT didn't mention the name of the disease for which this drug was advised . That is the main reason I mentioned that indication for which this is prescribed . Now the answer of your question "Can topol xl cause heart blockage and hairs fall"? Answer : NO . This drug never causes hairs fall and heart blockage . Since you are taking this drug so any of above mentioned disease may be responsible for your HEAR BLOCKAGE . I recommend you please consult a CARDIOLOGIST and get his opinion. For hairs fall at present need not to worry , first sort out blockage problem. Good luck.
