Normal response: Metoprolol acts to slow down your heart rate. The ER is extended release. I’m assuming you meant HR of 30 instead of Blood pressure. If you feel faint or dizzy with that Heart rate on the 50 mg dose, let your doctor know so they can adjust the dosage.

Really can't follow: this. Blood pressure is made up of two numbers - higher (systolic) and low (diastolic). So I am not sure what is being referred to as "30". You haven't told us what your current blood pressure is - so there isn't a way to state if you have hypertension.

Good evening doctors! How often should a patient with high blood pressure (takes Metoprolol ER and Losartan) heart issues (takes Plavix), and high cholesterol (controlled by medication-Rosuvastatin) get bloodwork/blood tests and heart tests/imaging?
