Weaning off metropolol. Down to 6.25mg every other day, but BP is up to 145/95. I am 57 and had bypass surgery 4 months ago. I am 5 6 , 130 lbs and very active athletically. I typically bike 20-25 miles/day. Cardiologist had me wean from 6.25 mg twice a day to once a day and now every other day. Any concerns since BP is up?
Hi I have gone through your question I wonder why your cardiologist weaning u off from metoprolol as beta blocker is a choice of agent in case of coronary artery disease and raise BP second-best choice is ACE inhibitors commonly used lisinopril or perindopril even with ACE inhibitors it is good to use beta blocker so that it will control heart rate which may increase due to vasodilator thanks hope answer your question
