Over the last 25 years I have taken metoprolol for my irregular heartbeat. I'm not too sure if long-term use of metoprolol can cause persistent neurological problems such as what I've described. I'm going to go back to my cardiologist, who has a bedside manner of a rock, and ask him if my metaprolol could be the problem.

I also had two and a half years ago a loop recorder inserted into the left breast that I have a constant recording of my heart and I was wondering if maybe the loop recorder could be adversely affecting my health because it is some kind of a recording device.

My husband's employer, Publix, only provides one medical insurance company to choose from and that's Blue Cross Blue shield and at this point I believe they know we are at their mercy and they can deny deny deny whatever they want whatever test and we have no choice and nowhere else to pick up and take our money to during open enrollment.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I have been suffering for 1.7 years now and have had so many tests done except for an MRI of my spine. The MRI of my neck two and a half years ago showed cervical stenosis and myelopathy and calcification of the cervical vertebraes and narrowing of the spinal fluid.

I'm not too sure if all my problems are autonomic nervous system malfunction because I've been misdiagnosed several times, one heart doctor says I have dysautonomia and the other heart doctor says I do not. The neurologist says I have benign fasciculation syndrome because I do have muscle twitching throughout my entire body for one year now but all tests rule out ALS etc. And of course my primary care and a neurologist thinks I have anxiety problems. I know there's something else brewing that's way beyond anxiety.
