Hiya I’m Dave 68yo male. First diagnosed in 2014 with non-ischemicdilatedcardiomyopathy & stageIV COPD/emphysema
stage1B NSCLC 2023. My chronic heart failure has always included arrhythmias pac’s v-t’s My daily heart meds are
Entresto 49/51(2x); Spironalactone25mg(2x); Jardiance10mg(2x);
Metoprolol25mg(2x)
The metoprolol(TOPROL XL) is a beta blocker intended to help lower blood pressure, v-tachs & stress on the heart. My BP runs 90/60 but at times will drop some so I gotta be watchful. Also they inserted an ICD defibrillator last January when my EF dropped below 25%. BTW, what was your diagnosis that led to the TOPROL? High BP?

I was passing out… no high blood pressure. Heart flutters and chest pain! Thought I was having a heart attack landed me in urgent care and then seen cardiologist… then wore my heart monitor for 30 days and found my heart beat was 220 and diagnosed with VT lower PVC.
