Hi
Metoprolol is banned for the 2md time/Breathless, couldn't exert and pauses at night on my normal 47avge bpn.
Asthmatics or excema folks shouldn't take it.
I was changed to Bisoprolol which is better for AFers. It did not contol my H/R Day. But no breathless, pauses and I could exert.
Private H/Specialist 2 years 3 months later. Introduced to Diltiazem. 180mg CD AM and bisoprolol 5mg.
Rung NZ Healthline and talked to DR there then Nurse at NZ Heart Line. She advised cut down Biso.. to 2.5mg separated at PM and Diltiazem 120mg CD AM. She rung my specialist.
I've been on this regime until December but August -October lowering BP.
Stopped Bisoprolol.
I rely on Diltiazem only. H/R 100 or under, BP 130/75. Great.
Research ?s why beta blockers are used for hypertension. Drs will only put up or down. With AF you need to be under a cardiologist. And do the various tests. ECHO, ECG, 24hr monitor which prioved Metoprolol was NOT for me. A H/R Day of 186!
