Energy
Fatigue is one of the more commonly reported side effects of metoprolol.
You may notice:
- lower energy than usual
- feeling tired during the day
- reduced exercise tolerance
- weakness
This can happen because metoprolol slows the heart rate and reduces the workload on the heart.
What may help
- Give your body time to adjust, especially after starting treatment.
- Maintain regular sleep.
- Stay physically active within the limits recommended by your doctor.
- Avoid suddenly increasing intense exercise.
If fatigue is severe, persistent, or getting worse, speak with your healthcare professional.
