Low blood pressure and metoprolol

I am so glad to have found your comment. I to have low blood pressure and have been taking the same med. as you. When you say episodes exactly what do you mean.? This morning I had an episode like no other. I have been having them on a consistant bases. But today was different. I had a surgical proceed a month ago. Alot with a lot of other test. A Loop was inserted to monitor my heart and surrounding area. This morning I reach the top of the stairs and the intense ringing in my ears, dizziness, loss of balance sent me into the shelves, door and I hit the floor hard. I think I might have passed out. This isn't the first time and I have seen Dr.s who tell me my test come back fine. Anything like this for you?

IF your monitor, whichever type they have used, says you don't have an arrhythmia, then it's probably true. Are you still wearing one, or were the results reported to you and they were negative?
There are other conditions in the heart that can result in low blood pressure. They include a poor ejection fraction, prolapsed or failing valves, and wall-thickening in both the atrial and ventricular walls that makes them have a loss of range of motion...meaning they can't contract or fill as well as a younger heart in better condition. Have all of these been ruled out?
There must be other causes, but I am outside my typical reading as I don't suffer from fainting, syncope, vestibular disturbances, and shortness of breath.
