A member asked:

Taking 12.5mg of metoprolol 2x a day, cardio thinks it is and will help me, he said possibly for life. i'm only 30 and have a healthy heart, benign palps that are ruining my life with worry, i'm concerned about long term effects of taking these.

Palpitations: What did your holter monitor reveal at the times you experienced palpitations? Thyroid function ok? If only occasional single atrial or ventricular premature beats, you may not need any treatment except avoidance of excess caffeine and alcohol and abstinence from nicotine. However, your dose of metoprolol is very mild and I wouldn't worry about taking it long term if it's effective and helpful
