What Causes Pressure In The Ears And Abdominal Bloating While On Metoprolol Tartrate?

I started taking metroprolol tartrate 50 mg /2 x a day for about a week and a half ago for rapid heart beat a fib. Two days in I experienced massive pressure around my ears as if I were hanging upside down for a long period of time. Also a very bloated stomach and tenderness when touching my stomach. I m eat but mot great amounts. Going to the bathroom normally and developed a dry cough. I know that allergies to this drug is rare but I m concerned. My cartiologist told me to cut tonight s pill in half. I am 62 years old and almost 20 years ago had a Ross procedure done on my heart. The 2 valves are leaking a bit now bu dr says my current issue has no connection with my valves. What do you think? Email is YYYY@YYYY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Metoprolol Tartrate does not have any ear or GI side effects as you have described.You need clinical examination to come to some conclusion.Ross procedure has no link with these symptoms unless you have developed severe AR which can cause throbbing sensation in Ears due to high pulse pressure.

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