A member asked:

I'm on metoprolol to control tachycardia could it cause bad headaches where i'm dizzy and stumbling? i don't lose consciousness & er is not an option

Dr. Rick Koch answered

Yes: If the metoprolol is causing hypotension ...What is your BP with these episodes? Cuttin metoprolol is 1/2 may provide arrhythmia protection but reduce side effects.
