Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on healthcare magic.
The medication Met - Xl (Metoprolol) is a heart selective beta-blocker used in the treatment of high blood pressure and other conditions. Generally, it is safe and well tolerated however it may cause some side effects like fatigue, decreased heart rate, difficulty in breathing (especially in patients with bronchial asthma), cold and clammy skin.
Hope I could answer your query. However should you have any follow up query I shall be glad to answer it.
Best regards.
