Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Please, do not worry. It is highly likely the effect of Metoprolol.
Metoprolol belongs to beta-adrenergic blocking medicine group. It works by slowing heart beats with less force to lower high blood pressure. Normal resting heart rate for adults is 60 to 100 beats a minute.
Please, monitor your blood pressure and pulse everyday and record the values on your blood pressure log book.
If you experience confusion, dizziness, fatigue or feeling tired you should contact your doctor.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you,
Malik Amonov MD
