I thought 2mg was strange. I started on 25mg 2X. Next was given 25mg XR 2-3 times daily. I had a heart monitor put on last week to wear for 2 weeks. I can hear the AFIB. I believe it was medication induced in the hospital by giving me IV Zofran for nausea for 2 weeks every 6 hours IV push. Then I was given Zofran for a year at home. I finally read all the side effects. Why would these doctor's continue to give a med that causes AFIB? The doctor said to take the blood thinner Xerelto.last week. Horrid bloody noses and traumatic increased chronic pain and neuropathy symptoms. I hope they subside. I took Eliquis for 10 days after hip replacement with no problems. This cardio doctor said no to taking it. He said to stop all blood pressure meds and reduce HCTZ 25mg to 12.5. That does nothing to lower B/P. I have been on Clonidine .2-,3mg 2 -3X a day unless B/P too low. The Nephrologist approved using on an as needed basis. Told me I have B/P that is not consistent with an on time use. I tried to stop it, but B/P went to 265/132. I took it right away. I woke up to this in horror. Used meditation to help. Some times I think the Metoprolol gives me AFIB. The doctor looked at me as if I was out of my mind. He said NO, Metoprolol cannot do this. I am not so sure. I am suppose to see another cardio tomorrow, but snowing heavy 80 miles north of Seattle. I will have to reschedule. I was also taking Lisinipril 10mg 2X and Diltiazam 120mg 2X. Stopped those when I left an abusive husband. I had to take 150mg of Metoprolol last time I picked up some things with X hubby on the property. Heart rate raced up to 140-160 a minute from fear. I was careful as I thought it might drop too low when I left. It went down to 65 beats. I hope everything goes well for you. I CARE. your friend, Doreen
