@gloaming Thank you for your response. If you read the side effects anxiety is one of them. I’m having the worst anxiety since on this medication. I have had agitated dreams, usually I don’t dream much. My husband tells me that I moan in my sleep. We are not all the same. Maybe this is just not the right medicine for me.

@chezpl69 I don't doubt for a second that you have anxiety, and that it may be related to your intake of metoprolol. Could it be that the anxiety is a secondary effect because it IS causing your heart to enter bradycardia territory, and it is the sensations that accompany those periods of low HR that cause you to feel anxious? Just throwing that out. I hope you don't feel I'm dismissive....not intending that or for you to think that. I just haven't seen anyone say that the drug causes anxiety in them, only that they feel anxious due to how it makes them feel.

Which is 100% legitimate. I would run this past your cardiologist.
