I had a couple of heart attacks on the 3rd of October, 2014. The following morning I had a stent installed in one of the coronary arteries on the left side of my heart. Since then, I ve been taking 25mg. of Metoprolol and 75mg. of Plavix each day. For some time now, I ve been experiencing daily side effects that have become unbearable. My cardiologist says to keep taking the pills, but I am fairly sure that the side effects are caused from the pills (mostly Metoprolol). I want to stop, but I m aware that stopping cold turkey might have serious consequences. The side effects that seem to be getting worse include: Upset stomach and pain, loss of appetite, headaches, tightening of my jaw muscles, sweats, dizziness and disorientation, extreme fatigue, weakness, etc. Please help me to know what to do. Thanks.
