Hello
As you mentioned that you are taking TOPOL xl i.e. metoprolol .
This is a beta blockers anti hypertensive mainly used for hypertension , angina pectoris, acute myocardial infarction , migraine and thyrotoxicois .
You are taking topol for many years BUT didn't mention the name of the disease for which this drug was advised .
That is the main reason I mentioned that indication for which this is prescribed .
Now the answer of your question "Can topol xl cause heart blockage and hairs fall"?
Answer : NO .
This drug never causes hairs fall and heart blockage . Since you are taking this drug so any of above mentioned disease may be responsible for your HEAR BLOCKAGE .
I recommend you please consult a CARDIOLOGIST and get his opinion.
For hairs fall at present need not to worry , first sort out blockage problem.
Good luck.
