Medications: Maybe your hypertension doctor can change metoprolol to bystolic, (nebivolol) it will have less effects on your asthma, although at this dose metoprolol is not really affecting your asthma. This is something to discuss with them.

Asthma and BP meds: In general, beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agents (i.e., beta-blockers ) (b) should not be used in patients with bronchospastic diseases. B may adversely affect pulmonary function by counteracting the bronchodilation produced by catecholamine stimulation of beta-2 receptors. If b therapy is necessary in these patients, use agent with beta-1 selectivity like metoprolol. Speak to your md.

Beta blocker;asthma: Although metroprolol(beta blocker) can cause asthma in some patients and in those who have asthma it can make it worse .But there are many asthmatics in my experience who can tolerate metroprolol.If your doctor thinks it is ok for you to take 25 mgm of Metroprolol , you can take it but you have to see if it causes your asthma worse, and if it does than you do not take it
