My mom has been diagnosed with high bp and is taking metoprolol. We have had many trips to the emergency room. The doctors are no help. After many ekgs, heart monitor and checkups, her heart is functioning normal and everything else looks great. We have had many trips to the emergency rooms. She has changed her diet and is eating extremely healthy with no salt at all. She is also walking 5-7 miles every day. We feel this was a huge factor in her bp and she is also diabetic which is also under control. She has been so dizzy she can't function normally and its so hard to walk around. She just wants to feel normal again.

Does anyone know the best way to wean off of metoprolol? We don't think she needs it and the doctors are no help. she was having very hard heart beats which we feel could be due to the clonidine she was prescribed and is now off of. The doctor said the medicine (metoprolol) is to mask the symptoms. Every time we ask questions they are annoyed and want her to stay on the pill. We just need some answers
