A prolonged fast heartbeat after exercise can indicate a condition like tachycardia or an arrhythmia (an irregular heart rhythm). Met XL 50 contains Metoprolol Succinate, a medication known as a beta-blocker. It works by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart, which helps slow down the heart rate, lower blood pressure, and reduce the overall workload on the heart. It is commonly prescribed to manage rapid heart rates, high blood pressure, and to prevent chest pain. Your father should take this medicine exactly as prescribed and follow up with his doctor for any necessary cardiac evaluations.
