toprol xl low blood pressure

My blood pressure runs around 91/60 and my pulse rate at 50 is this to low is this why I might feel sluggish and tired with no energy. I take medicine for tachycardia 50 mg p/day of toprol xl.

I was released from the hospital yesterday after a two day bout of atrial tachycardia and off and on atrial fib. My Toprol XL was increased from 100mg to 150 mg. 100 mg in the morning and 50 mg at night. I have low blood pressure (90/60) and I'm afraid that taking the extra 50 mg at night will drop my blood pressure too low and I could die in my sleep from my bp bottoming out? Is this an unreasonable fear?

Can the toprol XL dose be increased without running my blood pressure down too low. How high can it be raised safely. Also would magnesium supplement and potassium help this condtion? Are there any effects that hormones like cortisol or testosterone to the heart arrhythmias or PVCs.Stress seems to make it worse. IT just seems like there is something that is triggering this. Please help.

In regard to the Toprol XL, my blood pressure had become a bit too high, so my GP put me on Toprol about a year ago. Also, I have what feels like "skipped beats," which turned out to be ectopic heartbeats (found out after doing a holter monitor) and the Toprol really helps a great deal in cutting those down as well. My blood pressure was still spiking after I got on the Toprol (started out at 25mg daily) and they doubled it. I still sometimes have spikes even now.

m @210 (still overweight) and on low dosages of Lisinopril (10mg), Toprol XL (25mg), and a diuretic (37.5). Over the past 4 weeks, I've experienced some morning sluggishness and ED. It's not a sudden onset; I've been very cold some nights at bedtime, had sporatic ED... and I walk 5 miles a day four or more times a week... so up to now, no one has been surprised about a pulse of 60. Only now my pulse is often @ 50 and occasionally in the mid to upper 40's.

What is too low ? I have been on Toprol XL since 2004, starting at 50mg for several years then lowered for a few, then upped early August to 50mg daily. After a few days of a faster heart rate and skipped beats, my cardio doctor upped my doasge again to 100mg in the morning and 50mg at night, Yesterday was the first time to take 100mg in the morning. My BP readings were around 115 (systolic) with the diastolic running in the low 50's and at one time 45. Pulse was in the 50's.

Hi, I'm 4 weeks pregnant & had high BP before becomiong pregnant. I was on Toprol XL 25 mg once daily. I went to an OB/GYN today who said my BP was still running high and upped my dose to Toprol 50 mg once daily. When I called my pharmacist, he said he did not think Toprol was the best thing to take for BP during pregnancy to ask for something safer. My questions are: Is it safe to take Toprol during pregnancy? If not, what BP medicine should I ask my OB/GYN to put me on?

I have had increased blood pressure and heart rate over the last several months and my doctor put me on Toprol XL 25mg. Now I am having severe pain in my right knee which goes down into my ankle causing sharp pain. Could this problem be caused by the medication I am taking for my BP? I am taking the generic form, Metoprolol ER. Thank you.

I also am plagued with severe anxiety, and when my pressure was up my anxiety kicked in that only INCREASED my blood pressure..I began to take a very small amount of xanax before bedtime and that seemed to take the edge off of the elevated morning pressures. Then the miracle happened. Since the beta blocker only decreased my HR, and did not take care of my elevated B/P, I was given another B/P med to try.

My doctor has prescribed me 25 mg Toprol XL for the PVC's (flutters) I get after I eat. After reading the possible side effects, I am a little leary. Does anyone have any advice? Does anyone know what the common side effects are?

Any way thats not what im writing about. I was on Toprol XL for years and the generic (metropolol) came out and they swithed me over to the Metoropolol and I started having breathing and respiratory problems.. My family doc called it bronchittis.. well it got so bad, I made an appointment with a lung doc.. but then I got to thinking.. and figured it all started when they put me on the dang Metropolol ..

Are you still taking Tropol XL? Are you checking your blood pressure at home three times a day now? Your blood pressure is very low. When the bottom number drops 35 or below, the liver could start failing. If you are having chest pain, go to the emergency room. There must be something going on that they have missed. Usually chest pains mean that there is a clogged artery in the heart. Take care.

stops the pvcs for me My blood pressure is low by nature so I was very apprehensive at first. I am fine talking both. Get out of breath sometimes but I can handle that better than the pvcs/pacs. Ask you Dr about taking low dosages of both.

You can get off the Toprol - its not easy - weening slow works the best your side effects are pretty normal of toprol - I took toprol xl for about 6.5 years - long term useage ! I hated it - have to say it was the worst beta blocker iv taken in my life ! and I would never take it or anything like it again ! if you get help from Doctor in weening off it , expect to be put on another drug after your off the toprol - for h.b.p. ccb or ?

More options to treat high blood pressure are important because one in four Americans has high blood pressure.

I can not take a high dose due to low blood pressure and risk of heart block. I began having frequent PVCs and my docs increased the dose to 37.5 twice a day and it did seems to help. I know a lot of people on betablockers to reduce "skipped beats" Toprol XL is used to help reduce pvcs and pacs but that doesn't mean it always works. I trust this information because I am under the treatment of several cardiologists and electrophysiologists at Cleveland Clinic.

I had an SVT in Sep of 2007. Cardiologist started me on Toprol XL. The side effects were awful. After doing a stress test and telling me I had no heart problems, he took me off of it cold turkey. I was off of it for 48 hours and the whole time my blood pressure was high and pulse never went below 120. I went to My family physician and he was very concerned about my blood pressure which was 162/106 at the time of my visit with a heart rate of 129.

Well, It's been almost a month since I got back on the brand TOPROL XL and I feel like I have my life back.
