How did you wean off Metoprolol?

Did your cardiologist explain why the decision was reversed? Is she/he aware that you weaned off the medication? I’m just concerned that there may be a heart issue that was left unclarified.

When I first went to the cardiologist he told me that my heart was strong. My EKG was good. The reason for my diagnosis was because my Troponin was high. He said that he has seen this a hundred times from people with Covid and said he was going to reduce the Metoprolol from 50mg to 25mg then wean me off. My second visit my EKG was good I was walking up to 2 miles a day and when I told him about all the different side effects I was having from the Metoprolol he said he was going to leave me on it because I had a heart attach. Then he said he would see me in 6 months. No explanation of why the change of not weaning me off or any response to the complaints of the side effects. This drug was causing depression so bad that I began to think I would have been better off dead than to feel this way. Within days of being off this drug my mind cleared and the dizziness went away and I felt positive about life again. As I said before I'm going to a Holistic doctor this week to get a second opinion but going off of how I feel, I feel great.
