I have been on 50 mg. of Toprol xl for 5 years I find it so hard to breathe. Like I have to make myself breathe or I'll just stop breathing. I can't sleep because my breathing gets worse even with my head elevated. I'm getting terrific migraines, ready to tear my head off. I'm short of breath, can't hardly do anything and I feel I ran ten miles.. I have heart failure and low blood pressure. He's giving me this for now and then palpitations. I think this pill is causing all my troubles including anxiety. HELP!!

I was taking 100mg every day for a couple of years. But, I also had to take Advair becuase of my breathing problems. And I started having the palpitaions again and I started getting alot of panic attacks, so my doctor just rescribed me Verapamil.

I have been on toprol for about 3 years ...25 mg and it never controlled my BP. I'm on a diuretic now and it has brought my BP way down. Now I'm trying to get off the toprol and am having labored breathing. I think it has to do with the toprol and I don't know what to do but I am going to keep trying to get off it. Good luck with your problems and medical issues. I have used Brain Evolution meditation program and it has helped me very much with anxiety.
