new wheezing
increasing shortness of breath
chest tightness

Severe breathing difficulty requires urgent medical attention.
7. Sleep Problems or Unusual Dreams
Some people taking metoprolol report changes in sleep, including:
difficulty sleeping
vivid dreams
nightmares
restless sleep
These effects are not experienced by everyone and may improve over time.
If sleep disruption becomes severe or affects daily functioning, speak with your healthcare provider.
8. Depression or Mood Changes
Changes in mood have sometimes been reported by people taking beta blockers.
Possible symptoms may include:
low mood
loss of interest
unusual sadness
changes in motivation
However, depression is common and can have many causes, so it should not automatically be attributed to metoprolol.
