What Do You Suggest For Red Itchy Rashes Under The Sun And Astha Like Symptoms After I Eat When On Metoprolol?
I ve been on metoprolol for several years 25mg. I recently started getting red itchy rashes if I am in the sun for 10 minutes. The rash can get raised like hives. When I get out of the sun 2 hours later the rash is gone. I am fair skinned but never experienced this before. I have also started having asthma like symptoms. After eating I start to sneeze, cough and then I have difficulty breathing. This reminds me of the reaction I have to cats. At night I find that I am wheezing slightly. I m trying to determine if it is a reaction to sulfides because I find this happens more when I drink wine or could it also have something to do with the medication. I am not on any other meds. I only take vitamins. Thanks barbara

Welcome to HCM.
Red itchy rashes after exposure to sun indicates sun burn due to development of photo sensitivity of your skin.
Use proper sun screen lotion during exposure to sun light.
You can also apply calamine/aloebera lotion to get cool effect.
Sneeze,cough with wheezing indicates asthma.
Metoprolol is beta blocker anti hypertensive and asthma might be induced by beta blocker.
Get examined by doctor and take further guidance for this.
Keep in touch with your doctor.
