- Beta blockers are a group of medications that are used high blood pressure, angina, anxiety, essential tremors, heart failure and abnormal heart rhythm. Beta blockers are generally safe to take, and side effects tend to be annoying and not life threatening. The incidence of the most common side effects is between 1-10% of the population taking beta blockers.
Abrupt withdrawal of beta blockers may cause rebound hypertension, tachycardia, arrhythmia or angina (beta blocker withdrawal syndrome). It is very important that you only alter your dosage under the supervision of your health care provider.
I had nearly all these side effects from metoprolol prescribed after heart attack, except I gained 14 kg over 12 months even though the nausea made it difficult to eat enough food for my calorie needs. I became depressed, no energy, lost the will to live. I finally got doctor to stop prescribing it and immediately began to lose the weight and got my life back. Blood thinner also began damaging my liver so stopped taking that as well. Disappointed that GP just followed the 'guidelines' for medication rather than listen to my concerns about my declining health.
My husband has also had these side effects. Terrible
i had a heart attach 4 years ago, 1 stent put in. doctor put me on 5 meds, beta blocker, BP med, blood thinner, stain. i felt worse on these meds than i did before my heart attach. my heart doctor would not recommend me coming off meds. I slowly took myself off all meds. today, my BP is normal without meds, RHR normal without meds, cholesterol normal without meds. taking meds everyday is not wroth it when the destroy your quality of life
@@fsufanwhat did you do to get off all these medicines?
Metoprolol beta blocker was the worse drug I ever took and horrible side effects when you come off. Depression and jitters and high heart rate.
😊
I suffered ALL these side effects whilst taking Metoprolol ! - Now prescribed Bisoprolol & have experiencing hart palpations . . . Your info. has prompted me to demand to be taken off BETA blockers @ my next appointment is with the cardiologists - Better to live life , rather than to be existing like this long-term.
- Thank you for "educating" information. -
Thank you for watching! Hopefully you and your doctor can find a regimen that works for you.
😅
OMG, I just really listened to a lot of videos about beta blockers. I had a series of heart events, in this ORDER:
COVID, CHF, ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, HEART BLOCK , PACEMAKER PLACEMENT, HEART VALVE SURGERY,
I WAS PUT ON METROPOLOL, AND XARELTO, MY HEALTH HAS DECLINED SEVERELY.
MY SYMPTOMS ARE SEVERE SHORTNESS OF BREATH, DIZZINESS, WEAKNESS, HEADACHES ALL THE TIME, SHAKINESS. NAUSEA , GATRO ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX, CONSTIPATION EDEMA IN MY LEGS AND 2 MINTHS AGO DX WITH ANEMIA, WITH A HG. OF 8.
So, did you tell your doctor?
These meds need to be taken off the Market .
Did you take the vaccine and or booster?
Did you take the vaccine and or booster?
Insomnia and rosacea are the latest...not to mention diverticulitis
Good job.
Many many thanks
Raise of Blood Sugar, worsening of Insulin Resistance
Alot of nightmares..
Been on metoprolol for nine years and they upped my dose for no particular reason in 2020. I dismissed all the side effects as symptoms of the condition that the beta blocker was intended to protect against (a long qt interval that has never been a problem for me). I am now having many arrhythmias like SVTs and recently had a one time only Afib episode while drinking a cold drink which left me with a much lower resting heart rate (usually averages around 55 now it averages 54 but dips as low as 39 or 40). This is extremely uncomfortable and gives me palpitations all day and night long with long gaps between beats. I have also had nightly nightmares that are terrible --- usually after a few hours of sleep and closer to the morning which has resulted in me not wanting to go to bed. I hope to come off this drug and try something else at a lower dose.
Have you reached out to your doctor? If you haven't yet, I would highly recommend that you do. Thank you!
I have gained 18 kilos in a year since my heart attack. I am constantly out of breath, feel dizzy and eat very little. My gps do nothing.
I need knee surgery but can't have it now because of my weight gain. What on earth am i supposed to do.
My gp upped my dose from 2 tablets to 3. 😮. I can gain kilo in one day.
How many MG. We’re you all taking?
Thanks for this information.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.

I believe it was the cause of my bradycardia, I took myself off this, amazing I didn’t need a cane, lots more energy and no shortness of breath, 11 years 😡
Taking yourself off actually causes health problems long term
How did you take yourself off?
@@RamboBeats how do you wean off propranolol I been taking it for a month now for anxiety daily.
@@RamboBeatsThen how are you supposed to get off if you have bad side effects? You make no sense.
Hi! I used Beta Blockers medicines like Timololum. How much time need to repair normal sexual functions when problem appear? Is it a just some time or individual healing is needed when problem began?

Now are you sleeping
@donnajaime403 how r u now
@thribhuvankj1304 not good. Usually 4 hrs a night. Interrupted sleep. Awake more than asleep.
@rajeshlumb8659 I still have all of this. I feel bad daily. I also have a 38 yr old daughter who is 100 % disabled who depends on my care for all her needs. I deal with daily.
@@donnajaime403 thank u for reply. Do u smoke nicotine
I stopped taking Metoprolol and within a few days my heart rate was over 100 and my BP was low. I will have to keep taking it I guess
Sorry to hear that, talk to your doctor if your goal is to stop taking it. They can give you instructions on how to wean off instead of stopping it abruptly.
I take metropol, when I try to exercise or even just work hard, I gett out of breath very easy because my heart rate just won't go up that much. I have pots syndrome is why I'm on it, so it's a damned if I do, damned if I don't situation. Is there anything else that help other than a beta blocker? My Dr doesn't know much about pots syndrome.
Raise in Blood Sugar
Bystolic is the best beta blocker with the least side effects !
Do you work for Bystolic?
I'm having a nightmare now getting off Bystolic
I dont notice any side effects should I keep taking it? Are they safe?
That depends on your doctor whether you should continue it or not.
I have been on beta blocker called propranolol for 3 months with no side effects so far. I was prescribed this medicine because of my hyperthyroidism.
@batman same here. I've been on bisprolol for 1 year for palpitations which are due to hyperthyroidism. I'm not taking any other meds and the hyperthyroidism is reducing very slowly. what about you? Any better?
@@batman_2004That’s the one I just started on about three weeks ago. For essential tremors. No problems so far at 40mg twice a day. And my tremors did reduce
Bilocor is causing skipping heart beats why
Thank you for watching! Since its a beta blocker, you can have skipping heartbeat as a side effect.
So apart from those symptoms everything is ok?
Thank you for watching and subscribing to the channel. The video presents the most common side effects, but there are other less common side effects. Such as, blurred vision, tinnitus, reversible alopecia, dry eyes, worsening of psoriasis, photosensitivity and taste disturbance. This list is not all inclusive. Discuss with your health care provider if you are experiencing any adverse effects.
Thanks for your extra information Lucy. However, given the volume and seriousness of the side effects, I was being facetious.
Look at you!
You have my maximum respect Dr Igudia, I am now negative from Genital Herpes after I did the test, I wonder what might have become of me it I didn't get the herbal cure From your CZcams channel. God bless you sir.
Uh... I didn’t know all that.😐😐😑😑😑

Thinning hair and hair loss..
Sounds like a good deal taking these poison pills 😳
Can't understand her English
As an American, I can understand everything she's saying. She has an accent, but she's easily understood.
I gained almost 60 pounds over six months. Propranolol.
Thank you for watching! Talk to your doctor because sometimes switching to a different beta blocker might be helpful with side effects.
