Anyone here on beta blockers?

Thanks man. I'm a firefighter so don't want my cardio to hurt too much at work though

If you're a firefighter, a beta blocker will help keep you calm.
Personally, I wouldn't use Cialis yet if you've just been put on the Lopressor/metopropol. Make sure that beta blocker agrees with you. Some people tolerate it well. I hated Metopropol....Coreg/carvedilol works better for me.

I wouldn't start piggybacking too many meds. You may not have any ED sides from your meds.

Take it one step at a time. Work with your cardiologist/PCP to manage/ tweak your meds. Keep a logbook if you notice you don't feel right so you can share the information with your healthcare professional.

Shortness of breath, fatigue. You'll know if it doesn't agree with you. The good thing is there are plenty of others that you can try.

I get the feeling you worry a lot. Don't let your mind play tricks on you. If you think you might be a little tired, don't let your mind immediately tell you it's the the Lopressor. However, if you are constantly short of breath and extremely fatigued, then yeah ...time to talk to your Dr.

That's why I encourage you to keep a logbook.
