Brief Answer:
Increase fiber, vegetables, fruits and water intake!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this stool in ball stat you have reported. This is typical of constipation. Being on metoprolol, constipation would be more common and you will need to take active measures to address it. Regular moderate physical exercise, increased fiber, vegetables, fruits and drinking much water will help with this. Also, when was the last time you had a screening colonoscopy? It is recommended at most every 10years for persons in your age group.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
