I am experiencing a rare side effect of this metoprolol.......

My already Myalgia ,stiffness,pain of my entire Musculoskeletal system
is becoming unbearable!!

@Tired of being sick I had some problems with Metoprolol and switched to Atenolol which works better for me. Not sure if this would be the case for you but there are many different beta blockers that can be tried.

I was in bed sleeping for 36 hours got up took my meds(Lisinpro/Metoprolol/20oz of Ozonated water/Saltlick

Took a shower about an hour later and my BPM increased to 154!

I am not a happy camper, my pcp is already fed up with me,
I asked her to send me to the Cleveland clinic yesterday to see Dr. Jaeger
and she has not got back to me yet..

I call today to report my exaggerated BPM and nurse tells me to go to the ER!!!

I am steaming madness at the seems!!!

Nurse just called me back while typinng this and she said my Dr. said
to quit taking the Lisinoprill but keep taking the same dose of Metoprolol
and we can discuss it on my next visit in November!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am fed up with doctors period!!!
