Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am on12.5 metoprolol and 5 mg valium. I have felt sick, nervous and dizzy for almost two weeks. Can barely stand for any length of time, can t sleep either. Valium for panic attacks because of vertigo, meto because one day heart rate was high enough to send me to the emergency room. I have never had high blood pressure. ER room said I had benign positional vertigo. Dr says to keep taking pills. I am not getting better.

Please consider conditions that increase the heart rate like atrial fibrillation and SVT. you would need a holster monitor to detect this. There is specific treatment available for both. metoprolol is one of the drugs for SVT but the dose is very minimal and would need to be increased.
