Does Metoprolol Tartrate Cause Constipation For Close To A Month When Diagnosed With Hemorrhoids?

Hi, I started taking metropolol tartrate and I m having severe constipation for close to a month. It is quite bad. Is that a side effect? Once I finally get to go to the bathroom... the stools are hard at first and they hurt my anal area. I have a hemorrohoid and it is making this whole situation particularly painful... Any suggestions?
