I was on Verapamil before a septal myectomy and have been on Metoprolol 50 mg SUCC ever since the surgery with no noticeable side effects. I realize those in the discussion have not had surgery, but I would like to suggest discussing calcium blockers vs beta blockers with your cardiologists. You may want to read https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-pressure/in-depth/beta-blockers/art-20044522 and https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-pressure/in-depth/calcium-channel-blockers/art-20047605 to get an informed background leading into a discussion with your cardiologist.

Thanks @walkinggirl The med that my current cardiologist was thinking of switching me to is a Calcium channel blocker, Diltiazem. I'm waiting 3 weeks to speak to my new consult who is within Kaiser (for those who follow my Kaiser Permanente story), but came from Stanford. The HCMA was really helpful in sorting out who I should see at Kaiser.
