Metoprolol Reviews
Working / Worked
this has worked both for anxiety and SVT which is superventicular tachycardia or a fast heart rate.
Working / Worked
It slows my heart rate down. My heart tries to beat faster to make up for the floppy valve... mine doesn't leak (yet) but pushes back into the atrium when the blood is supposed to be squeezing out to the body... so there's backflow...even though it doesn't go through the valve. (Did that make sense?)
