Taking Eliquis and Metoprolol for A-fib: Concerned about side effects
Heart Rhythm Conditions | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (65)Comment receiving replies
I have been taking amlodipine at night with a diuretic in the morning with no issues since 2004. Lower leg Oedema is only problem with amlodipine. When I introduced 5mg of Metropolol which together with amlodipine have an additive effect all hell broke loose! I will continue amlodiline, I eased up for 2 weeks to 2.5 mg Metropolol, with palpitations and now I am 4 days without any Metropolol with palpitations! Energy level is way up, adrenaline produced again and added IRBESARTAN 175 mg which helps keep BP down in Metropolol’s place…

Thank you for the information, especially about the lower leg swelling. I will watch for that. Metropolol doesn’t work for me at all. But my blood pressure and pulse are right where they should be with amlodipine for now. Both my brother and sister have taken amlodipine for several years with good results. So I feel optimistic.
