How did you wean off Metoprolol?

Apparently YOU are not aware that many people have NO AFIB symptoms. I live in AFIB and would never have known anything without my Apple Watch.

Stop generalizing. Mostly everything you said is wrong. Apparently you never even heard of ablation, the number one treatment to "keep AFIB at bay".

Are you sure that your Afib did not return? Apparently some people are not aware that their hearts are out of rhythm. I don't get how that can be because it's like a huge thumping in the chest and needing to take extra breaths to get enough O2 in the system etc.. In any case, be careful. How are you going to keep your Afib at bay? You can't just expect it not to return. Something has to change. You need to be proactive. The cardiologist advised me to avoid ALL stimulants; alcohol, chocolate, Coke, any drugs or supplement with ephedrine in them, too many carbs especially sugar, being around cigarette smoke and avoiding very stressful situations. But what cured me of my serious case of Afib was exercise; pushing my heart. A walk didn't work. It had to be where I was working up a sweat. I suggest you really research and learn about your condition. My aim is to know as much as my doctor, if not more. I also cured myself of bladder infections..no thanks to my urologist. I had 28 in a row inside a 2 year period. Now gone! Become ultra informed about how your body works, reacts to meds and food and exercise etc... Good luck to you. Keep well!

My hair is falling out by fistfull for last few months esp-in addition my thyroid meds were increased at same time--any suggestions?

I'm a diabetic with left ventricular heart failure. I was put on metoprolol succinate 200 MG. I told my cardiologist that it causes my hair to come out. Also, I informed the doctors that my heart has been like this ever since I was a little girl and I made it into the military. One doctor had me on hydrochlorothiazide for fluid , then said it was discontinued and my body swelled up that brought on the HF, of course he retired. Found out that it was not discontinued, then comes the HF. The 200MG of metoprolol makes me feel weak, sleepy but can't sleep, itch and make my hair come out. Have asked for a different heart med, but instead, a form of Diovan was added and Lisinopril taken out. Before all these different meds. I had a normal low/medium low BP. Now it shoots through the roof along with my glucose level. Have anyone else have these issues? I feel like some of these doctors are just pushing meds. on me. I stopped the meds. for 3 days and added ubiquinol, beet juice and hawthorn berries, and started doing better with those than I did on the drug therapy. I think someone needs to talk with the AMA because there's alternatives out there without side effects that works better than the drugs. Anyways, I've always have had heart palpitations that would go away by itself. My glucose levels would always go high and come down by itself. My swelling ankles and fingers would swell if I ate too much salt and I didn't swell at all, if salt was mostly out of my system. I need to know some honest answers from the AMA. It's not One Size Fits All , when it comes to health issues.

Thank you for sharing. Every body is different. Mine has always been different from others. Nothing for me is normal . My body reacts opposite to health situations away from the "norm". Sounds like yours does also. I have been taking Metoprolol 100 gm for about 6 years. In the beginning it helped along with Clonidine started at low doses so naturally when BP kept rising the doses were adjusted higher making the matter worse. I understand the feeling like crap...like a zombie. Mouth so dry you could spit cotton. Gas and walking farts falling asleep not being able to drive...Every heart test and ultrasound, test for blocked arteries all normal. No reason for high BP increase more drugs that will work. NOT I listened to my body. I slowly weaned down on Metoprolol from 100mg 3 times daily over 2 weeks keeping track of BP 3 to 5 times a day. Really need to watch salt intake like poison to me. Life is a journey and how right God is my pilot.
