Is Metoprolol Succinate Er 25mg Safe For High Blood Pressure?
I think that my Dr has over dosed me for what she is saying is high blood pressure. I'm 61 and was given metoprolol succinate er 25mg and it made me sick. Switched to buspirone 10 mg, but only able to take half at a time, also make me sick. What is wrong with this picture.

please mention your blood pressure witjout taking medicine and after taking metoprolol 25
according to new latest guidline metoprolol (beta blocker class of drugs) are not the first line therapy for patients having only hypertension
if high blood pressure is associated with breathlessness on walking or any chest discomfort or pain in that case patient can be started by betablocker like metoprolol
as of now as u hve no such complaints
amlodioine (calcium chanel blocker ) or losartan (angiotensiongen antagonist group) is a much better option
and should be switched on to it
thank you
