improve over time.
If sleep disruption becomes severe or affects daily functioning, speak with your healthcare provider.
8. Depression or Mood Changes
Changes in mood have sometimes been reported by people taking beta blockers.
Possible symptoms may include:
low mood
loss of interest
unusual sadness
changes in motivation
However, depression is common and can have many causes, so it should not automatically be attributed to metoprolol.
Persistent or significant mood changes should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
9. Sexual Side Effects
Some people may experience sexual difficulties while taking
metoprolol.
These can include:
reduced sexual desire
difficulty getting or maintaining an erection
changes in sexual performance
Heart disease, high blood pressure, stress, diabetes, and other medications can also contribute to these symptoms.
If sexual side effects are affecting quality of life, a doctor may be able to adjust treatment safely.
10. Changes in Blood Sugar Warning Signs
Metoprolol can make certain symptoms of low blood sugar less noticeable, especially a rapid heartbeat.
This can be particularly important for people with diabetes who use insulin or other glucose-lowering medications.
