I started taking 25 mg ER metoprolol toward the end of October and it has worked very well. During an ekg at my physical my average hr was 107 and my doctor talked me into a low dose. The only problem is I now have a rash on my face. It was originally on my neck; then my neck cleared up but it is on my lower face. Metoprolol is the only change I can think of that has caused this. It didn’t come on until about a month ago. I read this was a possible side effect. Has anyone e perienced a “drug rash” and if so, did you find a solution. I have an appt. to discuss it next week. Does anyone recommend an alternate beta blocker? This is working so well for me I hate to change, but…. The only thing that is somewhat helpful is aloe vera gel, but it still itches sometimes.
I should say I am in permanent a fib and have been since 2010. I have a Watchman and take an aspirin a day, but nothing else until now. I am 73 and otherwise in good shape and good health.
Thanks for any suggestions. Best to all of you.
