Metoprolol ER It is helping tremendously with my HR and blood pressure. My blood pressure and heart rate spikes when I am sitting /standing up (POTS thing). My watch is also showing I am sleeping better. I have a high sleeping heart rate and this is helping. I have noticed a huge spike in debilitating fatigue since starting it , but there are other factors at play and it may not be the beta blocker.
I was taking propranolol before with no noticeable side effects..but since it targets Beta 1 and 2- it was starting to effect my asthma. There is less of a risk of that with the new medicine that targets B1 exclusively.
Does your medicine work well for you?
I am feeling so
That's miserable waking up with a high heart rate. That extended release will hopefully work better for you. Propranolol and asthma don't get along well! Mine's great, Nebivolol is what I'm on currently, worked much better that Metoprolol for me. I don't wake up with a pulse of 110!
Yeah waking up with high heart rate sucks and makes for very shitty sleep. According to my watch lately (before new med) my sleeping heart rate was in the 70's-80's. I'd wake up in the 90's -100's Now it's going down luckily.
That's good to hear! Everyone reacts differently to every med, just finding the one that works best for you is the key. POTS is one of those diseases that really sucks...
Thanks man. Trail and error for sure.
