Metoprolol and all beta blocker medicines can cause nasal stuffiness. If you have been diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, other drugs may be better for you.

Ecosprin av and clopidogrel are required after a heart attack. Avoid these medicines unless you have received a coronary stent.
Flecainide is quite toxic for people who require blockage medicines. Amiodarone is usually very effective. Amiodarone treatment requires medical supervision.

I'm 37 year old male on bp meds since the age of 29, i've been on atenolol 50, nifedipine 10, amlodipine 5, currently on metoprolol succinate xl 50 and cilnidipine 10. I learnt from my personal experiences and also from web literature that beta blockers/calcium channel blockers can cause slow heart rate or bradycardia unlike angiotensin receptor blockers (arb' s) like telmisartan or thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone. Can I switch from beta blockers to arb's with docs advice to negate the effects of beta blockers. What about celiprolol, carvedilol and pindolol? My last bp readings were, 130/90, 140/80 and 130/85 monitored every 7-10 days. I have undergone my lipid profile, kidney function, liver function and thyroid tests a month ago and everything seemed normal. I'm not diabetic and it doesn't run in the family as well. I do have allergic rhinitis from so many years for which I have tried levocetirizine, montelukast and fexofenadine meds as and when required. Also take placida plus for anxiety issues. I'm just asking this out of curiosity.

Hi curiosity is fine, but if you try googling each and every medication you will find something which your mind wants to find. What is best for you your doctors know better than you as the beta blockers which you have mentioned you have just googled them and have no idea regarding their efficacy potency or mortality benefit. You should know that not any beta blocker can be started as there is scientific evidence behind which one to start in a particular patient and this information sadly your go...more

Ciplar la is non selective beta blocker having effect on heart, lungs, blood vessels etc. And so should not be used in asthmatic patients while metoprolol succinate is a cardioselective beta blocker that can be used in patients having asthma or peripheral vascular disease. Both can be used in chest pain or angina or irregular or increased heart beats but if used together they may cause side effects (esp if in excess dose) like nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps or heart block. Metoprolol is used...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. In fact it is absolutely essential for a person like you to take the Covishield vaccine to get necessary protection. Because of multiple co-morbidities that you have, can lead too serious problem if there is an exposure to the virus. So please go ahead and take the vaccine. Thanks.

Hello lybrate-user lal.
Start your day doing some exercises or yoga. If you are diagnosed as having seasonal affective disorder, getting outside particularly when the light is brightest can be beneficial to you. Eat well. Share your feelings with the closed ones and listen their feelings too. Practice mindfulness and relaxation exercises in your everyday life. As you are having problems in sleep, you must practice healthy sleeping habits like avoid taking caffeine before 6 hours of bedtime, ...more

Yes metaprolol has some trigger effect for asthmatic patient .i hope during taking prescription with your doctor you told each and everything about the medical history of your father. As I knew doctor considered all these things but if you are having doubt then ask him. Without your physician's advice do't abruptly stop taking.
