You should speak to your doctor before you adjust any of your medications. That is a slow heart rate but not really anything to worry about. I would contact the doctor on Monday and let them know that you feel this is too slow and that you cut the medication. They might say that is just fine or they might want to change the medication or lower the dose.

I believe the metroporol is playing a big part in my not being able to sleep. My dosage has been increased recently. The only changes I have noticed is my sleeping schedule. So it's 3:27 a.m. and again, I am wide awake.🥰
