Will It Be Safe To Take Metoprolol For High BP?

I have recently started to use Metoprolol for high blood pressure, and some days and nights I get these attacks of pain in my lower back region. I t feels like "toothache" on each side of my back. I can´t walk straight and it is very pailful and can keep me awake at night. What can it be, and can it be Metoprolol?

Dear Esther,

Your complaints are rather related to your spine, than Metoprolol.
It is not a common side effect of Metoprolol.
I would advise you to have a X-rays of vertebra done, or simply see you doctor.

Wishing you good health
