I'm currently taking metoprolol 50mg every day, and I've been on it for the past three years. I have mitral stenosis and am starting to get concerned about any long-term side effects tied to metoprolol. Could you please let me know what I should keep an eye out for?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
taking metoprolol 50mg for 3 years with mitral stenosis can have some long-term side effects. Some common side effects of long-term metoprolol use include fatigue, dizziness, slow heart rate, and cold hands or feet. In some cases, it can also lead to worsening of heart failure symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while taking metoprolol. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation

View allI've been dealing with high blood pressure for about 20 years now, and despite taking medications like atorvastatin, aspirin, hydralazine, and amlodipine, it doesn't seem to be improving. I'm really worried and wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or trying. Any advice?

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate. I had MVR surgery back in October 2019 and I've been on Cordarone, 100 mg, ever since. Recently, around the last month and a half, my heart rate has been hovering between 60 and 65 bpm. Is this a healthy heart rate for someone in my situation, or do I need to see a cardiologist for this?
From the information provided, your heart rate of 60-65 bpm is within the normal range for adults. However, since you are a heart failure patient with a history of MVR surgery and taking Cordarone 100 mg, it is important to monitor any changes in your heart rate closely. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or fatigue along with the lower heart rate, it would be advisable to consult your cardiologist for further evaluation.

I'm 49 years old and have been taking amlopin 2.5 for about 5 months now. My blood pressure is usually around 13585, and even though my ECG is normal, I've been feeling some unusual symptoms. Sometimes it feels like my heart is racing or beating irregularly, and I'm worried it might be causing arrhythmia or tachycardia. Can amlopin lead to this kind of fast heartbeat? Should I be concerned or look into this further?
no
