Suggest Alternative Medication For Metoprolol To Treat Paroxysmal Ventricular Tachycardia

Hi, I am an active 58 y.o. female and have been taking 12.5 mg metoporolol for paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia. I wanted to switch to something that may have less negative effect with exercise. Do you know anything about Bystolic with exercise? My doctor said to try 2.5 mg Bystolic and see if better..

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I would like to say that all the cardio-vascular drug have same side effect more or less, but prime indication of drug is more important than the adverse effect or interaction, and it need to be taken in consideration, if the Metoprolol is exert the excellent effect then better to continue this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
