What Causes Dizziness And Fatigue While On Metoprolol?

I am female 37 years old Dx with Svts I was prescribed metoprolol 25 mgs I was taking the pills but I have discontinued due to exhaustion and blood pressure would get too low. I would also get dizzy, it did however slowed down my heart rate. Which is what is supposed to do slow down my heart because my heart rate was around 134 and get all the way up to 160. I am not taking my medicine and I do experience heart fluttered and heart rate beating fast that I can’t sleep at night when I get stressed it gets worst and when I feel like my heart is beating too fast I go back and take my mess but I don’t take it everyday. I am concerned and I know that I should be taking the medication daily but I hate the feeling of exhaustion, dizziness, feeling faint due to blood pressure getting low while on medication.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

A low dose, 25 mg of Metoprolol drug does not affect much blood pressure. I suggest you to take your medications regularly, drink water and probably use Xanax drug for a few weeks. I think this would help you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
