I have been taking metoprolol for at least 10 years. I was having fluttering feelings in my chest while walking for exercise and went to my cardiologist. He prescribed metoprolol which seemed to take care of it. I have always been active, and at 63 still walk almost every day. I take other blood pressure meds and would really like to get off the metoprolol because of the side effects, mostly edema and ED with me. Might those A-Fib conditions reoccur. I work very closely with my primary and we test doses and possibly eliminating or changing drugs that better fit me. I was thinking of asking her if we could ween me off to see what happens. Is this a reasonable idea?
