I think I have an unusual side effect from the metoprolol succinate. My cardiologist recently put me back on metoprolol. I had weaned myself off, and it had taken 6 months to do so. I had been off for 1 month with only small tachycardia events, and my GP and cardiologist wanted me back on it.
So, back I went, and it has been worse than ever. The metoprolol is driving my blood pressure thru the roof. I have and have always had very low BP. I ended up in the emergency room last Saturday, with 171/101 HR 80.
Has anyone had this experience???

Metoprolol gave me a low-flow TIA, sent me to the hospital for three days. Nobody knew what was going on, my cardiologist never had the guts to show up. Went home after 3 days, got myself a new cardiologist. I am on my fourth cardiologist. He seems to be interested in his patients.
It did raise my BP which had always been low.
Metoprolol is a beta blocker used for heart and high blood pressure issues. When I was on it I was totally exhausted all the time. I was taken off it and switched to another medication.

and... I should add, I went to the emergency room because my face and arms both went numb. I thought it was a stroke.
