In some people, however, blood pressure can fall lower than intended.
Possible symptoms include:
Dizziness
Blurred vision
Feeling faint
Weakness
Confusion
Nausea
Unsteadiness
Low blood pressure becomes especially important when symptoms are severe or interfere with normal activities.
Why Low Blood Pressure May Be More Likely
The effect can become more noticeable when metoprolol is combined with other medicines that also lower blood pressure.
Dehydration, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, poor food and fluid intake, or excessive alcohol use can also contribute in some people.
If repeated blood pressure readings are unusually low for you and you feel unwell, contact your healthcare professional rather than adjusting medication independently.
Orthostatic Hypotension
Some people experience a drop in blood pressure when standing, known as orthostatic or postural hypotension.
Symptoms may include a brief wave of dizziness or blurred vision after getting up.
Rising slowly from bed or a chair may help.
Persistent episodes or fainting deserve medical assessment.
