Metoprolol is a commonly prescribed medication used for several cardiovascular conditions. It belongs to a group of medicines known as beta blockers, which reduce some of the effects of adrenaline on the heart.
For many people, metoprolol is well tolerated and can be taken safely for long periods when prescribed appropriately. However, like all medications, it can cause side effects.
Some are relatively mild, while others deserve medical attention.
One symptom that can be particularly confusing is swelling of the feet, ankles, or lower legs.
