120 bpm symptoms and conditions

I have been taking 12.5 mg Metoprolol for my palpitation and occasional racing heart. Few days ago I got a rapid heart rate again and I increased the dose to 25 my as original prescribed. Now I have chills, cold hand and feet, insomnia, shortness of breath, chest pain, etc. I have cut back to 12.5 mg. The problem is that even with 25 mg my heart races once in a while but I can't tolerate increasing this drug. I want to wean off of it. What is the best way to stop this drug?

my husband was taking atenolol and the doctor switch him over to lisinopril 5mg he felt bad his blood pressure shot up to 196 over 116, and had chest pain, shortness of breath and he ended up in the emergeny room his heart rate was 120 bpm. his doctor put him back on atenol and he is doing better.Has anyone had this same side affect?

I am on Advair 250/50 and I want to QUIT NOW. At first it worked great, still does on my asthma, but for the past month, I have gotten so jittery, nervious, snappy and my heart rate at resting is racing at 115-120 bpm! I hate feeling like im about to drop dead. Ive called my doctor and am begging him to switch me to flovent instead. Flovent doesnt have the salmetrol and Im sure its the salmetrol that is causing my crazy jitters. I have cut my dosage to one a day and I hope that my Monday I will be off it altogether.

I had the same chest pains. Sometimes it felt like it was in my lungs, sometimes, it felt like it was my heart, and sometimes I couldn't tell where it was coming from it just hurt. Everyone kept telling me it was panic attacks. I'm sure I had a few of those too as I have had an amazing amount of anxiety since starting Yasmin, but I knew it was something more. I take a baby asprin everyday to make sure I don't get clots. I have had ekg's and chest x-rays and nobody has found anything. I have had major fatigue, dizzy spells(almost blacked out), stomach pains...the list goes on. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone. I will tell you that I have been off the pill for about 5 days now and I still have a lot of anxiety but some of the chest pain has gone away. I'm hoping it continues to get better and fast!

I too had the heart race thing. Although my heart only got up to 120 bpm. At first it would just pound really hard and feel like it was going to jump out of my body. Then it would get faster and faster. When it seemed to subside the chest pain would come. It really freaked me out. I've been really afraid of blood clots. I had some weird sensations in my legs.

I have had the worst hot flashes that have not gone away yet. One minute I'm cold the next minute I am so hot and I am stripping off sweatshirts and things trying to cool down. It's the worst! I did also gain weight, but not sure how much of it was the pill and how much was me not working out anymore because I have been so fatigued.

Hope this helps all! Five days off the pill and counting! :)
