yes I ve been taking metroprolo tartrate 50 mg twice a day for many years. but just reciently I had to go to the hospital for a few day because of an infection , there I was told I did not have high blood pressure any more and to stop taking the medication. I tried that and my right leg got very swollen and my family doctor had me checked for blood clots and they found none. I started back with the metroprolo again and much of the swelling reduced . what to due and i read a side effect was hair loss am 58 know and am lossing most of my hair even legs. Is there a high blood pressure medicin that works better with no hire lose?
