Can Metoprolol Be Taken When Diagnosed With Low Heart Rate?
I have just been prescribed Metoprolol er 25mg. My HR dips into the 40 s is irregular and my blood pressure is sometimes 100/60. I am nervous about taking this medication due to my HR being low and worried about my blood pressure going to low. What should I do?
