Triple By-pass Done. Get Dizziness With Metoprsolol. Any Safe Substitute?

Your question is a very good one. I will try to work on providing you with some good information and recommendations.
I do not know of any 15 mg dose of metoprolol. Usually it comes in 2550 or 100 mg doses. Sometimes also there is a 12.5 mg dose.
I would advise you strongly against replacing the metoprolol with lisinopril. You are already taking ramipril. There is no indication to take two medications in the same class and lisinopril and ramipril are in the same class. The metoprolol is very important in preventing additional cardiac events in your case. I would discuss your symptoms with your doctor and he might adjust your dose or perhaps tell you to take the medication at bedtime.
Thanks again for sending a question.
