My GP said its probably gout but my instinct says its that bloody medication.
![]() 1 Blocker 1 2 4 Reviews Skin Was TightlyMy skin was tightly stretched shiny became bright red with blotches swelling spreading from both feet, ankles, extending up to calves.Two phone calls later my GP advised I should stop taking the tablets an appointment was given for a review. The huge swelling severe inflammation has subsided but not completely gone. Ive read that it will take 11.5 days for the drug to be eliminated from my system so hoping I will be back to feeling more normal without these horrid side effects. My quality of life was badly affected by this drug and I feel Id rather have no treatment than suffer the last few weeks of a living nightmare. Ive had every side effect you could think of but the worst for me was the dizziness, lack of appetite, headaches and rapid heartbeat. It causes severe anxiety all I can do is lay and worry because I cant function normally for being so dizzy. I hate this drug with a passion please if youre reading this and experiencing any side effect it only gets worse tell your doctor to switch you. Im back on Metoprolol as of 3 days ago and very slowly feeling better and hoping it continues. I have experienced the following: extreme anxiety; feels like my heart is trying to beat its way out of my chest; cant think straight; weird vivid dreams; sleeping on my back and I wake up with a drowning feeling; dry mouth and dry skin. I been off of it for over 2 months and Im still feeling the side effects of it except my heart the cardiologist said my heart is back to sinus rhythm but still get palpitations at night so I dont know if its really back to sinus rhythm or if there was no detection of abnormal rhythm in that moment. My doctors think I have bad anxiety but no it was the medication that did this to me and its frustrating. Only took two 5mg tablets and awful side effects and experience. Day 1 severe dizziness headache and very bad chest pain and a wired feeling. Day 2 anxiety through the roof, could not think straight, dizzy, breathless. ![]() Really wanted this to work and bring down blood pressure and Im happy to ride out side effects but this drug is scary, thought Id have to go to AE but rode it out. Day 3 now since I took the tablets and all improved but now bad stomach pains, diarrhea and back pains. First time Ive taken blood pressure med and really scared me. Disappointed. I stopped it myself as the doctor would probably say try longer, nope Maybe more exercise. After a week,I started having chest pain, a high racing pulse, hot face and an extreme fatigue, like I had no life. My symptoms stopped but after 4 days, I woke up and both my knees are swollen and painful.
