"I started having a racing heart for no reason at the age of 23 (160-180) and then at 125-135 for the whole day. Propranolol 20mg twice a day didn't work, 4 hours of relief and then it started racing again. Metoprolol 50mg succinate once a day; it literally doesn't go over 100 once even when I'm freaking out. The first time I took it, it went from legit 160 to 65 in a matter of 2 hours. I've never seen my heart rate in the 60s in my life. I've been on this miracle drug for 3 years now, and it still works, in fact, I had to start taking 37.5mg because I was getting down into the 50s."
