User Reviews for Lopressor oral

I have high bp and increased heart rate. I'm taking generic, metaprolol. The side effects scare me...weakness, shortness of breath. I'm put on 25mg. i've already visitted er and see the doc tmr...everyone tells me to give it a couple weeks but i do not think i can stand it...i'm so young and my bp wasn't high until I discontinued taking it,,,then it skyrocketed so i was told to take it again.

I am taking 12.5 mg whenever my blood pressure gets above 115/40 to 70. This happens about 3 or 4 times a wee, Normally my pressure is 95/50. The DR tells me that Meto... prevents fibrillation so I should keep taking as much as I can tolerate. I am alert and Swing dance Tango 2 to 3 hours 4 or 5 nights a week. Should I keep taking the drug. 3 to 5 times a week without problem

My Mom had valve replacement late December was recovering ok when Rehab changed Mom's heart medication to Lopressor so she would take one pill for blood pressure and heart rate. Right after she started taking Lopressor she has severe dirreah and nauseau.

I'm in the hospital now. I came in 2 nights ago with chest pains. They started me on Lopressor immediately. My blood pressure is now going UP and my fingers are swelling up.I now also get heartburn after I eat all meals. If the Dr. would show up I would speak to him about this, but silly me, it's Sunday.

I used this med for 11 days. My heart rate dropped to 60. Other symptoms included swelling of legs, exhaustion, SOB, and dizziness - to where I was stumbling. Went back to MD and was taken off this med and placed on a different med. BP did lower to an average of 158/85 but would go up to 165/100 while on med.

BP was high 175/105 heart rate over 100 this drug has lowered my bp&heartrate have some dizziness & fatigue

I sleep all the time, cardioligst says it might be a side effect from this drug

I just want to know the side effects of drinking & taking this medication

Pain in neck, chest and back is gone. (Also have a stent)

this drug as worked well, so far

I was put on this drug after a mild heart attack and a stint was placed. I now have irregular heart beats, I think from the blood thiners I was put on. this drug makes me so sick, faint feeling, tired, I cannot even drive. dr. let me drop down to 1 25 mg pill at night, I feel ok now during the day, but my heart beat is very irregular, and am having some dizzey feelings from that. so I am not sure if I want to feel very bad and keep my heart rate regular or deal with the skiped heart beats. I see my dr. next week to discuss this. Read More Read Less

I have been taking this medication for 24 years now and am just now having issues with the dizziness and feeling light headed. Can't really say it has kept my blood pressure down. The last three years it has been up and down yet the Dr. doesn't want to change anything.

I fall asleep at work and at home when not active. I fell asleep at the wheel for a minute and found myself in the passing lane when i was driving in the right lane.

even when taking the lopressor sometimes my blood pressure still runs every high

ist is a good safe drug. However, i have been getting side effects that now place me into changing to another med. My vision is affected and of course standing up quickly can be a problem. i will be trying another med but have gto advise to hang in there with side effects..theyare simoply going to happen

diarrhea, lower abd discomfort, gas

I have taken Lopressor 50 mg for 7 days and have been dizzy the entire time. I spoke with my doctor who told me to cut the pills in half to see if that would help. Has anyone else experienced persistent dizziness?

I have been on the medication since December 09. It is currently April 2010. Recently I am experiencing chest pai daily. Stress/ Echo was negative, as well as EKG"s and labs. Cardiologist is ordering a CT Angiogram to rule out blockage. I don't knoe if this is a correlation with the medication of if it could be a increased in GERD chest pain.
