Please refer to the detailed answer below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
After reviewing the medical query raised by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that clozapine is basically a antipsychotic medication prescribed by psychiatrists mainly for schizophrenia and anxiety disorder.
Now anxiety is an important underlying cause of fast heart beats specially in young individuals there by causing palpitations and even more stress.
Both metoprolol and clozapine can lower your blood pressure so it’s important to monitor blood pressure initially for few days as symptoms like headaches, dizziness or even fainting episodes can happen. It’s advisable to discuss this with your treating doctor before starting these medications together.
Kind Regards
