Is It Advisable To Stop Metoprolol When Having High Heart Rate?
Question: Have been on metoprolol and flicinide for Atrial fibrillation. Have been very tired out so stopped metroprol this morning and taking Corzaar 50 mil. Now in A F . Blood pressure is 135/99/107 pulse. Can I take more Coozar? Flicinide is 3 per day. Or should I go back to Metroprol?
Brief Answer:
You should use Metoprolol.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Your hart rate is high so you need a beta-blocker to slow down heart rate and lower blood pressure. ( Metoprolol is fine)
If you suffer from AF you need anti agregant drugs too.
These issues should be discussed with your Cardiologost.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

What is anti agregant drugs? I take flicinide for A F. Is that the same?
Brief Answer:
Clopidogel or aspirin.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Antiagregant drugs prevent thrombus formation, preventing this way stroke.
Flicinide ( I assume you mean Flecainide) is an antiarythmic drug, not an Antiagregant.
You should discuss with your Doctor about this issue.
Hope I helped. Best regards.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
In my opinion, for your tachycardia and high blood pressure, you need metoprolol. I would suggest that you do not change drug regimen without consulting your treating doctor.
For now, stick to what you doctor has prescribed, and see him soon.
