Suggest Treatment For Irregular Heart Rate While On Metoprolol
I am on Metoprolol for high BP. My acupuncturist put me on grapefruit seed extract. After 48 hours, my heart began racing and irregular. Then I vaguely remembered the pharmacist mentioning not taking grapefruit with this drug. Most sites online said it is OK. My experience is otherwise. What do you say?

Meteprolol infact slows down heart rate and doesn't cause increased heart rate in anyway. Please continue with meteprolol it will definitely help to slow down your heart rate
