Is Metoprolol Tartrate Effective In The Treatment Of Palpitations?

Hi...my dr. prescribed metoprolol tartrate for sporadic racing of the heart (up to 207 bpm but with a duration of only 13 beats.) Also symptoms include pauses in pulse followed by normal pulse rate. Should I start taking this? understanding that once one starts the drug, difficult to stop using it. Thanks
