Question 1

is it safe to take verapamil and metoprolol together for severe pvcs??

Accepted Answer

In general, yes: Medications like metoprolol and verapamil are good first-line treatments for symptomatic PVCs. They both work to slow down the conduction of the heart and thus the heart rate, and while this can help with severe PVCs, these medications can sometimes cause the heart rate to go too slow, especially when used together. If this happens, you may have symptoms like lightheadedness or passing out.

Question 4

currently on verapamil 480mg to control afib. still having some afib episodes. my doc wants me to take a low dose beta blocker too. is that safe?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It depends on what your resting heart rate is on the verapamil. 480mg is already a decent dose and i suspect in "normal mode" your heart rate is relatively slow ~ 60? With the beta-blocker you will slow down the heart rate in afib, but might lower your resting heart rate too much in the process. How symptomatic are you with the afib episodes? How fast is the heart rate? Consider ablation?
