@bajjerfan I hadn't heard that, but I suppose it stands to reason: it's a 'beta-adrenergic' inhibition drug, so if a person is experiencing a strong emotional response, such as fear, the adrenal cortices will produce lots of adrenaline. Adrenaline, among other intended responses, causes the heart to beat forcefully and to speed up...'fight-or-flight.' Metoprolol is meant to stunt that response, and that is why it is also good for 'incipient hypertension.'

I was on three BP meds; Metoprolol being one of those. I stayed VERY "fuzzy headed", and could hardly focus on anything. I stopped all of the BP meds. The fuzzy head stopped! I researched, and found that is one of the main symptoms of Lisinopril. I felt much better OFF the meds. My doctor talked me into taking a different drug, since my |BP was still a bit high. I now take 10mg of Olmesartan. She prescribed 20 mg, but that caused the fuzzy head, so I break them in half. Good luck!
