Hello all. New to posting here. Just seen my GP yesterday. And I was prescribed metoprolo XL for my hbp. A beta blocker also. Is anyone here taking this med? Is so. How's it working for you? Please let me know.

    felix59554...Metropolol IS a beta blocker. Beta Blockers are used to reduce blood pressure, & they also reduce heart rate.

    Metoprolol is a beta blocker, I would be surprised if you were prescribed another beta blocker also.

      Thanks 6RHGB. This Is my first time on a beta blocker. So I'm not sure what to expect. How is yours working for you? As far as for your blood pressure and heart.

      I take a CCB as well as a beta blocker, as I had a brain haemorrhage. It keeps it nice and low. Three years now.
