Metoprolol dose increased to 75mg & Annual Checkup (Sept 2021)

Went in for annual checkup yesterday.    Asked Brigette about if there's any other BP med she might recommend since what I'm on isn't quite working.  She says the metoprolol dose I have now is the lowest amount, so she says let's try going up to 1.5 pills, 75mg.  If this doesn't work she suggests I see cardiologist.  All the meds I have already tried were the ones she woulda recommended.  Asked if I have heart palpitations, is that when I can feel my heart racing? then yes.  Looked it up, doesn't seem to mean heart has issues.  But something to mention to cardiologist.  As for neurologist, no need to go since nothing going wrong and also cuz it's already been 8 years since stroke.   Blood work needs to be done in Hemet, so going next week.  Mammogram also due.  Same for colonoscopy or stool test.  Need to check insurance on that one since i'm not 50 yet.  Mentioned heel pain, so getting xray on Monday as well as Tetanus shot booster.
