Summary

After post-viral cardiac issues, Meadow 44162 said it took a couple of months to resolve. They avoided exercise, saw a naturopath and cardiologist, took metoprolol, SPM Active, magnesium glycinate and electrolytes, and cut caffeine, sugar and alcohol. They reported no metoprolol side effects and later said they cut their dose in half to 12.5 mg twice daily while still taking them.
