Metoprolol: Are you experiencing side effects?

Thanks, everyone, for sharing your experiences with Metoprolol. I also posted a question about increasing dizziness about 10 days ago. After reading so many helpful posts on this site, I’m wondering if my dizziness is a side effect of Metoprolol or hocm or both? Some have said that their dizziness w/ Metoprolol eventually goes away…I wonder how long until that occurred? I’ve been on the drug for almost 5 mos now - seems long enough to adjust to the med. I’m scheduled for a consult at Keck USC in early Oct & am hoping to receive good advice re meds or surgery.

I had a bout of vertigo when lying down last week while at Chautauqua Ny - gone when returned to Chicago - cause? Been on Metropolol for a few years - have to deal with constant fatigue - sleep well

@danafitz I agree that 5 months is probably enough time to adjust to Metoprolol. On a different post, @bbisno asked about the side effects and I posted this article in the reply.

I did not have dizziness from the Metoprolol, 50 mg each morning ever since a septal myectomy 4 years ago. I did develop an electrical problem causing arrythmia after the surgery, I experienced dizziness and giddiness and 2 syncope. I acquired Buddy, my ICD, to pace my heart. Worked wonderfully.

Have you been diagnosed with HCM?
