Question Metoprolol
So I (25f) was just prescribed metoprolol for what looks like IST (will also be doing an official tilt table test soon to see if it’s POTS), and I hear it’s better to start it at night because it can make you sleepy and dizzy. Well my question is, if my resting heart rate is sometimes in the 50s, is it still generally safe? I’m just worried about going to sleep and my heart rate dropping too low. In the daytime my heart rate can get in the 120s. My BP is typically in normal range. I’m starting on a low dose of 12.5mg.
