Svt, adenosine, and metoprolol

I recently had an exacerbation of svt requiring adenosine and an increase in my maintenance metoprolol dosage. I  essentially lost a day of memory and have been forgetful and foggy headed. Just wondering if this is normal.  I can't get any doctor I have seen to address this.

Drugs can affect people differently.  How much Metoprolol are you taking daily?

I can only answer from my own experience, but I have had adenosine several times as well as taken metoprolol and a couple of other beta blockers and never had any memory problems or brain fog.  Adenosine is very short acting with a half life of only seconds, so I really doubt it would have long standing side effects, but I am not a doctor.

Need to add...I would definitely talk to a doctor about this and tell them how concerned you are.  And don't let the conversation turn to anything else until they have addressed your concerns.
