Supplement for irregular heartbeat

Key

Hi so I use to take metoprolol for extra and skipped heartbeats as well as blood pressure. But now I’m with child and can’t take it. Are there any supplements that are safe for baby and I that will help them ?

This is a good question for your OB!

I don’t think there’s any kind of natural supplements 😕 I still took my metoprolol during my pregnancy with my son. He was fine but he was small for gestational age which is a known side effect of beta blockers in pregnancy

Why can’t you take it? I’m on metoprolol now and currently pregnant. My OB, pcp, and cardiologist all agreed it was safe at a low dosage and are monitoring baby a little more than regular

They had me on labetalol because they said it’s safer for the baby. But my blood pressure is perfect so I don’t take labetalol anymore. I messaged them and just have to wait til tomorrow and see what they say. What mg are you taking

Yes I’m still on my beta blocker. My cardiologist said it is such a low does and best to continue it thru pregnancy, and often woman are prescribed it during pregnancy, so that doesn’t make any sense? You should still be on it, it’s worse to stop taking it now, bc our heart is working over time
