Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is true that metoprolol can cause dizziness, especially when it adversely affects your heart rate and blood pressure, leading to low blood pressure or severe bradycardia.
I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure and heart rate frequent times during the day and refer those values to your attending physician.
If these symptoms are persistent, I recommend consulting with your doctor for a careful physical exam, and a resting ECG to exclude possible severe bradycardia or a conduction disorder.
Hope to have been of help!
Feel free to ask any other questions whenever you need!
Wishing all the best for this New Year!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
