How did you wean off Metoprolol?

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?

Yes my cardiologist nurse said to take it for 5 to 6 days then stop completely I took it for 7 days and stopped today it been 3 days without taking it no issue other than anxiety the cardiologist think I don’t need to take any other medication all the heart test were clear only showed a sinus tachycardia a early beat but nothing else wrong since I suffer from ocd anxiety disorder cardiologist think the tachycardia happened due to that and no because a another issue with the heart or body because I got thyroids check ultrasound and blood test and got check for everything in my body lungs disease everything was cleared
