Suggest Treatment For Heart Attack
Recently a friend had a heart attack and was hospitalized for a few days, and she had two weeks of therapy after that and was put on Metropol twice a day (half the dose). Does she have to take her B/P before each Rx, or her pulse rate....not to take if this falls below 60 beats?

Hi,
Your friend should monitor her blood pressure and pulse for a week.
She should not take the medication only in case if the pulse is low 50bpm, or if it is from 50-60, but she has complaints of dizziness and lightheadedness.
Wishing a good health to your friend
