Please help.
Had heart attack (mild one) in march this year. They put me on Metropolol 25. My heart rate became very low (41) and I had severe side effects, like ongoing diarrhea.
3 days ago I started taking a half tablet (12,5 Metropolol). Now I have severe stomach aches and gas in my bowels. It feels like having hunger all the time.
I am afraid this could also be angina. So yesterday I took the normal dose. My stomach aches continue. My heart rate is normal (100 when walking), I feel somewhat anxious but no chestpain, armpain or other angina symptoms. Does this sound familiar??
Exuse my English. Not a native speaker.
Edit: I called my cardiologist. He doesn’t believe its Angina Pectoris. My heart looked good after the attack. No damage, nice stent placed. He thinks this is because of the weaning of. I had severe diarrhea, and I looks like this turned into obstipation after starting to take half of the tablets. I got some medication for obstipation and it seems to work!
