Did you just start taking metoprolol? Maybe it lowers you're blood pressure a little too much making you light-headed and then after several hours the bp goes up again. What are you taking it for? I take 12.5mg (not extended release) twice a day for an arrhythmia. Have been taking it for over 2 years. Initially it really slowed my pulse and b.p. but eventually the body seems to get used to it. I didn't get lightheaded just sleepy. Lately, I have noticed that I experience fatigue for a couple of hours in the afternoon after taking my first pill of the day at noon. The doctors just say the metoprolol is doing its job.

I have bradycardia but had fluttering in my stomach, checked my pulse it ws143, went to the E R was admitted overnight being monitored. was dxed as possible atrial flutters. my pulse rate was in the 30's on the 25 mgs now high 40's or low 50's, but that is about normal for me. I am not sure the flutters were not caused by gas from IBS, was having a bad IBS day and read on several boards they get racing heart beats from several digestive problems, reflux, IBS, chrons etc. I had one Dr. tell me if I start racing again take one 25 mg Metoprolol if the racing does not stop in 10 minuets go to the E R the other said same dosage but give the racing 2 hours to stop or slow down. Slightly confused here and wondering how fast rates are for people on this board and what they do when they get them? This is new to me>
