I have symptoms with Lopressor that include vocal cord closure, extreme fatigue, too low B/p,mental confusion ,muscle weakness, light sensitivity, trouble breathing during the day...So...in desparation I cut 25 mg in half and many symptoms have begun to decrease. I suspect all smooth muscle were effected that is why I have so many symptoms. It was used to protect an aneurysm that will be fixed 21 july...AM I right about this? Lopressor could cause even more obstructive sleep apnea. I have celiac spru and am allergic to chemicals.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you're all symptoms are due to hypotension and bradycardia caused by Lopressor. Lopressor is having metoprolol. It is beta blocker. It acts on reducing blood pressure and heart rate. You have given Lopressor just for prophylaxis before aneurysm surgery. So possibility of hypotension is more in your case. So you are cut down the dose to 12.5 mg. Chat Doctor.
