I'm scheduled to have an angiogram next week and I'm feeling a bit anxious about it. How long does it usually take to recover fully from this procedure? I'm also worried about any possible side effects or serious risks that might come with it. And after the angiogram, will I need to stay in the hospital for a long time?

I've been taking metoprolol 50 mg once a day for the past 3 years, but I'm experiencing some side effects like weight gain, gas, indigestion, abdominal swelling, and a puffy face. Are there any alternative beta blockers I can consider, especially since I have mitral stenosis with a measurement of 1.6?
Considering your side effects with metoprolol, you can discuss with your doctor about switching to a different beta blocker such as Nebivolol (5 mg once daily) or Carvedilol (6.25 mg twice daily). These medications may have a different side effect profile and could be better tolerated in your case. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
