Hi,
Suggestive of unresponsive treatment. Calaptin (Verapamil) & Metpure-XL (Metoprolol) are commonly prescribed to treat AV Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia (AVNRT). Their common side effects include decreased heart beats and low blood pressure. They do not cause tachycardia as such. From the given history you seem to be not responding to the standard treatment of this type of tachycardia (increased heart beats). I advise you to consult your cardiologist for further evaluation like an electrophysiology study and possible effective treatment in the form of catheter ablation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
