i've been taking metoprolol for decades. I'll ask my cardiologist. Thanks for the suggestion.

Changing from metroperol to Hydrochlorothiazide, like my sister takes with no dizziness, helped very little. My cardiologist has now put me on Amlodipine. It’s been two months now and this change is making a real difference. It’s happening slowly and even if it doesn’t go away altogether, it’s far easier to manage. There are still good days and bad, but manageable, though sometimes I’m reluctant to go out. Over the last three years I’ve had vestibular physical therapy several times, starting with Home Health after an ablation procedure for Afib. Medicare generously paid for two more six week sessions at a nearby physical therapy clinic. The first was prescribed by an ENT and the second by my GP. It does help build confidence and strength, and I was able to drive myself to the second six week, twice a week series. Keep trying small adjustments to your daily routine. I’m focusing on better sleep, which has eluded me for some time. Afraid of drugs, I’m working on lighting, food, timing, that sort of thing. Best wishes, Cybele
