Will Metoprolol And Sertraline Cause Bad Effects To My Heart?
I take metoprolol and sertraline and have had recent chest pain on left side and up my neck on December 3rd. Is it a bad interaction? My doctor will not change anything on my medications.

These drugs very rarely if ever have an interaction. Metoprolol is the generic version of Lopressor and sertraline is the generic Zoloft. Actually, if you have anxiety these two together are usually extremely affective in treating arrythmias and anxiety. I would go to the ER, explain the pain, tell them that you are not happy with your doc and after your treatment ask for another doc. The nurses often have one that they prefer. Everyone has their opinions. You definitely need to see an electrophysiologist that deals with the electrical system of the heart (SA and AV nodes, Bundle of His and Purkinje fibers). You also should have a cardiac enzymes test and a BMP (basic metobolic panel) blood test done to determine if your electrolytes are out of whack and if your potassium is low, sometimes it will cause chest pain. Go, to the ER. Quit procrastinating. Hope all goes well.
I take Metoprolol also…I take it to lower my heart rate because without it, it’s over 120 even if I’m sleeping. So I know for sure that it lowers your heart rate…I don’t know much about the interactions though, sorry.
i dont know about the heart, but when i was on sertraline i was foggy on what i was doing and nearly burned the apartment out, when i left something on the stove and then left. you might have to look up the drug interactions on the internet and then find a medication that doesnt give you the chest pain. i think it takes time to find the right drugs for you , that work right.
Metoprolol is a heart drug… it does not cause chest pain.
Sertraline is an antidepressant.
There is no interaction between these meds.
Get checked out.
