Apparently I cannot get off of this drug. Day 16, 17 and 18 off was miserable with HR up to 170 and dizziness and shortness of breath. So...I went to the Dr. today and started taking the Metoprolol again this morning. Both the Naturopath and the MD examined me and told me that I either needed to get the HR down or go to the ER. Well HR came down to the 100's and I took an VC IV with other minerals and supplements and when I left HR was 69 and blood pressure was 123/78.
MD said that I really should stay on the Metoprolol until I have the blockage cleared out. She said that I could then wean down and actually transfer to another drug that has less of a rebound effect when I'm ready. This was my first IV at 50 grams and I feel fairly good right now with HR at 64. Yesterday was horrible with HR bouncing from the 90's to 170 throughout the day and I actually passed out briefly once. Unless I have some other issues in the meantime I am going to continue my VC regimen and I think I will opt for a VC infusion once a week or so, keep taking my supplements, stay on my diet path and of course, take the Metoprolol. I will have new blood, urine and heart tests in November and see what progress I have made.
Just want to keep all updated.
