This tablet in your case is not given for blood pressure it is given for skipped heartbeats. I need to know cause of your skipped heartbeats before telling you duration and need of this medicine. If you are having it too frequently I suggest you get a holter monitoring test done in addition to thyroid function tests and serum electrolytes. Remember to stop met XL at least 3 days before doing holter test. Follow up with above reports
