thanks for sharing. i am glad you had a fix. I take metoprolol and am having increasing difficulty with an itchy throat and sinus pressure. I have to sit up and cough -- it keeps me awake.

I have a persistent cough. And, I take it to slow my heart rate due to leaky heart valves and afib. When I try half a dosage, I don't feel as well, and get scared and go back on the regular amount of 25mg which is a low dosage. My sexual function is about non existent along
with my husbands impotence which he seems to like, not that it matters at 73 years. Also my memory is poor and I forget stupid things. Most of my conditions are a combo of so much of life beating on me for 73 years. I don't see how we can separate things. Symptoms.

Hi @lucky1038,

There are other beta-blockers, other than Metoprolol, that don't have the same side-effects. If you talk with your doctor he can probably find a replacement med for you.
