What Causes Fluctuating Blood Pressure Levels While On Lasik And Metoprolol?
I was recently diagnosed with A Fib. Spent 3 days in the hospital. I am 68, healthy, great BP 110/70, cholesterol really good, pulse normally about 60 -65. Had a lung infection, then went to poor breathing. End results was A Fib One of the meds along with lasik and a blood thinner was Metoprolol. It keeps bumping my blood pressure down into the low 90 s and and 80 s. Why are they giving me this when my blood pressure is good. It doesn t seem to help my heart rate. Thanks Diana YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
Metoprolol is a B-blocker which help to decrease the heart rate and blood pressure.
On the other hand, Lasix is a diuretics which is mainly used to treat cardiac failure and high blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
