That's important about the type of Metoprolol. I was on Metoprolol Tartrate but down to 6.25mg twice a day. But I felt so fatigued and my blood pressure went so low aty cardiologist's appointment that he immediately put me on Metoprolol Succinate but only 12.5 mg and taken at night. That change has really helped me feel less fatigued during the day.

And immediately after the ablation I did feel better but as soon as I started the Pantoprazole 40 mg and Sucralfate 1gm, started feeling terrible. After 4 days, I came off it. I am slowly feeling better. I will know more in about 2 weeks when I am back to taking only apixaban and metoprolol.

I plan to keep taking metoprolol succinate until after my vacation. But if both cardiologists say I csn stop, sort of as a test, I will still carry it with me, as you suggest.

I assume pantoprazole is against acid reflux, is there a connection between how effective the metoprolol is if there is no stomach acid? Personally, I am long a time Pantoprazole user and could not handle the metoprolol or any of the others. I fainted and fell, broke several ribs, and punctured my right lung. So, after 3 cardioversions, several ablations I now have a pacemaker since this March. It is going reasonably well, no more afib but still have this tiredness. I was also put on Bisoprolol after my last ablation around my sinus node. Next appointment middle of August.
