Scott1 0 Posted March 15, 2022 I’m a long time anxiety suffered centered around mainly my heart. I recently weened off lexapro 10 MG (been two weeks now) and I’ve been checking my BP for the last 5 days and it’s been 108/79 average morning and evening but today, it’s been high all day. 153/91 and basically averaging 150/88 and I spoke to my doctor and he recommended I start taking metaproponlol 25 MG I’m sure that’s not the right spelling. I’m scared about my BP suddenly spiking. What if I have a stroke or heart attack. And does anyone else take metaproponolol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 430 Posted March 17, 2022 My wife is a pharmacist and she said metoprolol is prescribed quite a bit. She also said blood pressure fluctuates quite a bit and just because it is higher one day it does not mean it is high all of the time. I would stop taking it all of the time as that can make you anxious too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironman 196 Posted March 17, 2022 I take Losartan, and I can temporary black out if I get up too quickly. The doctor said "just don't get up so fast". You would need to track your BP over a longer period to know for sure. Spikes aren't going to happen unless there is trauma or a decongestant medication - that's what got me. They took my BP and said "welp, you might have had a hemorrhagic stroke when you had the blood in the eye. You need to go to the ER". They put me on Losartan.
