I am 86 and had an Afib episode in December 2024 and was prescribed Eliquis twice a day and 25mg metoprolol once a day. Had a successful PFA in May 2025 and continued with the metoprolol. Metoprolol caused numerous problems for me. Lethargic. Kind of stumbly. A low heart rate between 50 to 55 all the time. Worst was the pain and numbness in my legs below the knees. It felt like they were just two lead weights that were dragging me down. Feeding my horses and doing other ranch chores was pure hell. Forget any exercise. After a number of meetings with my cardio team I went off metoprolol. No weaning. The change was overnight. I am back to exercising and am able to do everything I need to do around my place. Still on Eliquis and the most recent prescription was US $30.00 for a 3 month supply.
