with 25 mg of metoprolol my heart rate does not get lower, do I need more?

Q: My workout heart rate was in the high 120’s to low 130s while working out, I am on metoprolol 25mg, now it is in the high 130s to mid 140s same dosage and same work out. Even my resting heart rate seems a little high for being on this med. Do I need more? Also, it seems that it takes an awful long time in the day before I see my heart rate lower. I take the pill between 6,00 and 6,30 am sometimes the heart rate does not get lower until evening. It is not lower when I work out around 10 am, it should not take that long for the med to kick in. What to do?

A: Your heart rate will be high when you work out. This because the heart works hard and fast. What you have to check out is what is your heart rate when you are at rest. The normal heart rate is from 60-100 beats per minute while you are resting. Anything more than a 100 is tachycardia.And once you have taken your tablet in the AM it is just normal for your heart rate to go down in the evening. Just relax and don’t dwell too much about your heart rate. At least you do work out and in time you will get back to a normal rate.
