No, not recently, but I've been Metoprolol for some years, after a 2017 brief episode of Atrial Flutter. It is, of course, also a Beta Blocker, and is taken for prophylaxis. I personally suspect that my dreams are most likely a residual sublimation of some bullying I underwent, many years back in childhood, combined with loss of a parent at age 4. Interesting idea, though (meds side-effect), and certainly worthy of additional consideration. Thanks for sharing that comment. [As someone impacted by unDx'd ADD as a child (that continues through adulthood, but with w/no apparent hyperactive element), and encumbered/enabled by/with a very active, creative imagination, the resulting matrix of possibilities is such that some therapeutic intervention would probably be timely.] Cheers, Justin

@justintyme I think Metoprolol is in the same class of drug as is Bisoprolol.

I had an echocardiogram recently they found some kind of misfiring heartbeat and a distended aorta so I was prescribed the Bisoprolol to regulate my heartbeat. I will be going in for a stress test and depending on its result I will be referred to a cardiologist. I have had a few echo cardiograms and stress tests - even the nuclear test - over the years so it’s nothing new for me, but those dreams definitely were a first for me!
