I am going thru a bad emotional breakup with my girlfriend. I am currently on metoprolol (25mg) 1xday. My heart began fluttering everyday a few times for over a week. i had a 24hr holter monitor and there was no afib , but twice my heart had extra beats, two and four extra heart beats. [I just recently (last week of August) got shocked for tachycardia . After six weeks came off the medicines and all was fine. No underlying issue was found.] My doctor said to take the metoprolol for a month just to be on the safe side of not going into afib. My question is can I have a one or two beers or glasses of wine occasionally while on the meds for the month?
Hi Roblander91, I'm sorry to know you are going through a bad emotional breakup. Any form of Alcohol (beer/wine...) is basically a CNS Depressant. You may feel better for some time after a peg. But remember it has addiction potential & health hazards on prolonged use. You are experiencing Adjustment Disorder.  Do not try to forget your Girlfriend. But try to accept the fact that currently Break up has happened.  Meet your nearest Psychiatrist. He may give counseling to get rid of this problem. If necessary he may prescribe an Antidepressant. You will be better in few weeks.  All the Best
