Metoprolol is a commonly prescribed beta blocker used for conditions such as high blood pressure, angina, certain abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure, and after a heart attack.
It can be very effective, but like any medication, it can cause side effects. Some are mild and manageable, while others may signal that your dose needs adjusting or that you need urgent medical care.
One important rule: do not stop metoprolol suddenly unless a healthcare professional tells you to. Abrupt withdrawal can cause a rebound increase in heart rate and blood pressure and may worsen chest pain or other heart problems.
1. Tiredness and Low Energy
Fatigue is one of the more common side effects of metoprolol.
You may notice:
unusual tiredness
reduced stamina
feeling sleepy during the day
less energy during exercise
This may happen because metoprolol slows the heart rate and reduces the heart’s workload.
