Summary
After COVID the user's heart rate would skyrocket to 150-170 after moving around too much, on top of a resting rate of 115-120 they had had for years. Metoprolol, 25 mg quick release twice daily, brought the resting rate down to 80-90, which they called a great relief. It made them pretty tired and left them with a dry mouth.
