Extreme fatigue from Metoprolol?

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.

@nevets Thanks. I heard back from my cardiologist today who recommended cutting back to 25 mg of Metoprolol but I did have similar heart rate problems at that dosage as well. He mentioned other medication options but didn't elaborate. I also asked again about a possible catheter ablation procedure.
