If u been on metopolol 25 mg for 2 weeks and doctors up your dose to 100mg will your blood pressure decrease faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Metoprolol will decrease blood pressure however is really not a first line agent for lowering blood pressure. You likely will need another medication. Discuss with your doctor or ask for a referral to a hypertension specialist.

Hi doctors. I blood pressure medications, Losartan 100 mg & Metoprolol ER 100 mg. At the nephrologist my blood pressure was 120/70. At the cardiologist a week later it was 145/80. I often get variable numbers. Is this variability in readings normal?
