Extreme fatigue from Metoprolol?

@chickenfarmer Thanks. I have no perception of Afib or SVT even when diagnosed with Afib 90% of the time and one bout of heart rate at 185 bpm for 16 minutes on the Holter monitor data. My only symptom was feeling very tired in the mornings and feeling very tired on one day of a multi day back packing trip. I am certainly open to trying an ablation procedure and going off the Metoprolol. For the last 30 years I have a history of running and endurance cycling as well as bicycle racing. It is very discouraging to basically "blow up" walking uphill. But many others have it far worse.

I am currently on a daily dose of 25 mg metoprolol and I don't really notice it. When I go cross country skiing my HR will sometimes go above 150 BPM and then return to 50-60 BPM at rest. Prior to my ablation in January 2025, I was taking 75 mg of metoprolol, which gave me a case of the zombies. After the ablation, my cardiologist lowered my dose to 50mg, then to 25mg, and said I can discontinue it altogether is my HR goes to 50 or below during rest. When sleeping, my Apple Watch often clocks my HR in the mid 40s.
