Ask your doctor about Metoprolol SUCC rather than Tartrate. I had dizziness when starting that medication after a septal myectomy. Mayo people suggested I switch to SUCC because it helped alleviate such side effects in some of their patients, my home cardiologist then prescribed that form. Unfortunately, that made no difference for me and I eventually ended up with a pacemaker/defibrillator. We are all different, in my opinion it's worth a discussion with your doctor.

Hi @camtak

I started at 100 mg Metoprolol then they increased to 150mg total (100mg mornings and 50 mg at night). I have had the same issues of dizzines and urinating more at nigh, but I had no choice other than to get adjusted to that. So my body is adjusted to it with a little improvement on dizziness so I am still on it. I have HOCM so I had no choice. I hope you can get better on it.

I am curious if you are on Metoprolol SUCC? I have not had serious side effects from taking it 2x a day at 75 mg. (yes, I break a pill in half) Feeling dizzy is not your friend. I have found great insight from my cardiac nurse, but if you don't have someone like that to talk to, Please talk to your cardiologist. I hope you find an answer and feel better soon!

I'm 76, with three moderately leaky heart valves, and was switched from Losartan to Metropolol 25 mg, after dinner, for blood pressure control about 6 months ago. A low dose, yet I still feel as if something is pressing on my chest, have low energy, and blood pressure usually just above 100/60s. I drink the required amount of water and usually get up once early early a.m. to urinate.
That BP seems to be too low for me.
I do not drink, never smoked, and eat a very healthful diet--Mediterranean, mostly, no red meat or pork.
I have so very little energy compared to pre-metropolol. I'm about to call my cardiologist--if I can get her nurse on the phone!--to ask to have it reduced even further.
