---Hello. You mention taking Metoprolol 125 mg twice daily. That is double my current dosage. Has it helped you with any symptoms -- specifically dizziness or unsteadiness?

In January I was diagnosed with hypertension after making a visit to a Prompt care and sent directly to the ER. Admitted overnight for observation and an Echocardiogram was done which disable left side heart wall thickened. Diagnosed me with hypertension and sent me home on Metoprolol 25 mg twice a day. Kept my blood pressure down for a week or so, back to ER with blood pressure out of control, dizziness, chest discomfort, shaky, SOB. After several visits to ER with same symptoms a Cardiac MRI completed send got the diagnosis of HOCM snd referred to Mayo Clinic. Delays with insurance approval and then COVID 19, I skim scheduled for Septum Myectomy in July due to Metoprolol dose keeps getting increased but only holds blood pressure for sp long and then dose gets increased again. So gradually it has been increased to current dose of 125 mg twice daily. I seem also on Cardizem 360 mg daily and HCTZ 12.5 mg daily. I have symptoms everyday. Just holding til my surgery date
