How Long Will I Feel Light Headed And Tingling In Feet And Hands After Being Hospitalized For Low Pulse ?

Hi I have been taking metoprolol 47.5 for 3 weeks for tension headaches and blood pressure which was around 140/95, I was admitted to hospital on Saturday with low pulse of 40 and have felt rotten on these from day one, light headed, tingling in feet and hands and generally low energy and yuck. Was taken of pills on Saturday and was wondering how long I will feel light headed and have the tingling for, how long do they take to leave the system. I am going back to my doctor today but am to scared to go on further meds and would like some advice,thanks

Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The blood level of any substance - including drugs - falls to negligible levels (5 % /
The half-life of Metoprolol is about 3 to 7 hours / so, in 2 days, it will be gone!
All your symptoms may not be related to the drug…
You may need more investigations
The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
