Dear Sir ,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that definitely when your medicines will be reduced you will feel much better but still I have a concern . The drug metoprolol that you are taking often reduces heart rate . Sometimes when more than required dose is taken heart rate becomes low and the person has a feeling of being unwell .
I will advise you to see your doctor and discuss with him regarding this issue and get your heart rate checked . Rest I dont think there is anything to worry about .
Take care and wish you good health .
