A member asked:
I just started metoprolol er for pvcs, is it better than atenolol? my concern is my current usual hr is 80 bpm but my bp is 100-110/65 will it lower?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atenolol vs Metoprol: Metoprolol may be better but the real question is what are the PVC's due to. Metoprolol in low doses probably won't lower your BP much but only time will tell. Start low and increase slowly. See if it reduces pvc frequency.
