Is The Resounding Of Heart Beat Be Due To The Intake Of Metoprolol Drug?

Hi I am a 53 year old female. I have no heart disease that I am aware of. I do take metoprolol 25 mgs daily for a fast heart rate. It usually runs about 90 bpm, so doctor suggested this medicine. But last few nights, as soon as I lay down at night, I can feel and hear my heart beating. Is this normal? I do not have any caffine at night, however I do have wine, and I tend to have sweets. I immediately feel my pulse, and it feels normal and regular, and it doesn't feel fast. But it keeps me up as I can distinctly feel and hear the thumping. Should I be worried? Should I up my metoprolol at night? Thanks for your answer.

Hi,

Usually it is not dangerous if you feel your heart beating when you are lying. I would advise you to check your blood pressure for a week in the evenings, as sometime people can feel their heartbeats because of high blood pressure, but if it is normal before going to bed, there is nothing to worry.
Also I would advise you to avoid sweets and alcohol in the evening, and try to be in the fresh air much.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
