I m on Eliquis and a beta blocker metoprolol. Lowers my pulse they tell me. When on treadmill doing 2.8 my pulse is about 95. I see your a drinking machine at one a day. Lol. I take a Hi Ball once a week when going out to eat. Your right about 130 BP. That’s the norm for doctors and for me except when I feel relaxed it’s as low as 116/78 at times.

I had my cardiologist switch me from Coreg to metoprolol because my pulse was racing to 120 in the morning when I wasn’t doing anything. It fixed the problem right away. I heard about it from a cardiologist friend who has afib and when he starts feeling it, he takes one metoprolol.

The third day I was in the hospital with afib they gave me metoprolol, about four in the afternoon, and within an hour my Afib was gone. A very useful drug.

It’s not unusual for my blood pressure to be 95/56 in the morning but it’s usually just above 100.
