What Are The Side Effects Of Using Metoprolol While Treating High Blood Pressure?

I recently was prescribed Metoprolol for hypertension. There were two other drugs for high blood pressure my doctor tried with me, but I had a reaction to them and had to discontinue them. This drug is working to drop my blood pressure as I loose weight, but I am having some tingling feelings in my hands and feet since using it, and am experiencing ringing in my ears. It is a side effect and was expected. Can I do anything to ease the side effects. Thanks

It may drop your blood pressure a little bit more than it is expected. You must measure your blood pressure every day after resting for 5 minutes. Dosage adjustment may be needed if your blood pressure is lower than 110/60 mmHg.

May you recover soon
