metoprolol--beta blocker

after having a-fib---then finding out i had a leaky mitral valve which needed repairing-----( i did not have any blockages ) my doctor put me on a beta blocker (metoprolol)----I feel great most of the time---the only thing I notice is when I have to exert myself for a few seconds ( like runing and playing with my dog or walking fast up a steep incline ) I have to stop because of lack of wind and feel exhausted----would this be considered a side effect of beta blockers

It could be, but I would talk to your doctor about it first.  I take Metoprolol and it can slow you down a bit.  Talk to your doctor to make sure there isnn't something else going on.  Take care, Ally
