Keep feeling like I have low blood pressure and going to pass out. Onset from eating or elevated heart rate. Cardiologist has given all clear with tests and MRI scans. Elevated traponin levels after episode. I strongly disagree with GP with anxiety.

Started Metoprolol 25 mg twice a day. Taking it for POTS. I am feeling dizziness and lightheadedness. I am also losing my balance. My heart rate seems normal. I haven't checked my blood pressure yet. Will these side effects go away soon?
