Burning sensation in chest symptoms and conditions

I was experiencing high b/p so the doctor prescribed, Metoprolol 25 mg a day. I took it for one month and was having burning sensations in chest below breast bone, palpitations, tightness in chest like I could not get a full breath of air. Stomach pain, gas nausea and upset bowels. I complained to my doctor and he switched me to Toprol XL and upped it to 50 mgs a day. Still having palpitations, burning sensation in chest and stomach upset. I am hoping the side effects will diminish and my body adjust to this pill. The doctor has told me to give it some more time to allow for this.

Ambien worked well for sleep but I could not take the side effects. I took it for 3 months. I had increased sweating, prickly burning sensation in chest, legs and feet. Also got an upper respiratory infection which I believe may have been caused by this as I have not had so much as a cold in years. I am now back to restoril. It does not work as well but the side effects are less.

Burning sensation in chest, agitation.
