First, I am so grateful to find this forum.. it has already decreased my anxiety exponentially...
I have been experiencing severe palpitations since December, and was convinced I was on death's doorstep.. EKG's, Stress Test and Echocardiogram show no defects, and for all intents and purposes I'm "fine."
However my cardiologist did prescribe Metoprolol when I went through all these tests a few weeks ago.. but it hasn't helped.. in fact, it may have complicated my life.. I'm beyond exhausted, unfocused, tend to feel nauseous and feel like my adrenaline is off the charts and experience occasional chest pain. Is that a bi-product of this medication?
So while my palpitations seem to be not as strong, they are still present. To make matters worse, when reading the medication literature it references all kinds of adverse complications, some of which I described above. Have I just complicated my life by taking this drug?
Admittedly, I'm stressed to the max with a life-changing event I'm currently going through, and I'm sure this doesn't help... I just want off this adrenaline rush I've been on to stop, and to quit being so exhausted ... not to mention for these palpations to go away..
I have a follow-up appointment with the cardiologist tomorrow, but am very interested in your thoughts about this drug.
Thanks.
