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.
