Hello @anacarel2018

It is good that you feel concerned. It is very important to talk to your doctor before tapering off (or stopping) any medicine that is being used to treat heart rhythm problems. Have you talked with your doctor about discontinuing this med?

I took metoprolol for about a month and had side effects. I called my cardiologist and he changed to a similar, but different med, for heart rhythm issues. The new med did not have the side effects.

Before you go off of the metoprolol completely please check with your doctor to see if he can substitute a different med that will help with the tachycardia.

Will you call your doctor?
