Beta 2 receptors are responsible for keeping your bronchi open so you can breath. If they are antagonized, your bronchi will close up. In Asthma you want to use Beta2 AGONISTS, drugs that stimulate these receptors, so you can breath.

Could have asthma type symptoms after taking metoprolol?

I have both asthma and high blood pressure and am taking metoprolol. I was very concerned that this would work against my asthma so I had very detailed conversations with both my asthma doctor and my regular doctor. Its been 3 years now since starting metoprolol. My BP is under control and so is my asthma. Although metoprolol should work against your asthma - only thing I experienced was a slight cough when i first started. I suggest you talk with both your doctors at length about taking this drug with asthma. There are other HP drugs out there - but metoprolol is the tried and true one. Talk with your doctors.
