Carol Kauffman I am 8 wks post AVR and 1 bypass. They put me on 50 mg metoprolol in the hospital. My husband was placed on the same med after his bypass surgery (14 years ago) and it immediately dropped his heart rate into the 60s. My heart rate b4 surgery was in the 70s and 80s; now it's almost always in the 90s and I can frequently feel it pounding. I don't want to increase my dosage of metapropol due to side effects. Is this due to surgery? Anyone have a high heart rate which eventually came down? (my cardiologist said don't worry but I read anything over 76 increases your risk of HA - plus- it's darn annoying! Thanks for listening:-)

Helen Daw I am having the same problem. I am taking 12.5 mg once a day of the extended release Metoprolol and I am still having the side effects. Blurry vision and lightheaded all the times. Heart rate is high, but blood pressure is good/ little low. I keep hearing that these side effects will go away. We just have to wait and see.

Carol Kauffman Hi Helen! Thanks for sharing! I am having a little blurred vision too- didn't know it was a side effect of the metapropol. Heart pretty good today- maybe it's slowly getting better. Just feel my nervous system would quiet down a bit if my heart rate was in the 70s! Maybe after cardiac rehab...good luck!
