What Causes Nausea And Excessive Sweating While On Metoprolol Tartrate?

YYYY@YYYY My friend is taking the drug called Metoprolol Tartrate 50 mg twice a day. she recently received the prescription for a lower dose of 25mg per tablet. She mistakenly took both pills so she took a total of 75mg dose around 12noon today and she is having nausea and she is very hot and sweaty forehead. the hot and sweaty symtoms were not sure if it is due to the medication or menopause. So lets start with what I have given you so far. thanks

Hi,

There's is a chance to develop bradycardia and hypotension. This hypotension leads to sweating and giddiness.

It may be due to a sinus headache or sepsis or hypoglycemia etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Get it done ECG, blood pressure check-up, blood sugar and complete blood picture.

Please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
