Metoprolol is used to regulate the heart, not control blood pressure.
I beg to differ. I was given Metoprolol after having an a-fib episode last year. The literature that came with the medication describes it as a blood pressure medicine as well as a med for controlling heart rate. If you read up on it online, you’ll find the same description.
Also, my husband, who is in a nursing home, is normally on Atenolol for blood pressure, but does NOT have a-fib. He was recently given Metoprolol for a few days as a substitute for his Atenolol when the home’s pharmacy was temporarily unable to fill the Atenolol script.
