I'm relieved to see your post. I was put on Toprol 25 mg due to tachycardia episodes when I danced with my group of cloggers, and during performances I have had to walk off the stage to calm my heart down. Felt terrible, dizzy, and scared. The Toprol took care of the episodes immediately. I was hoping to loose more weight, but have found it to be harder than expected. Now I read that it is due to the medication. My blood pressure was controlled effectively as well until recently. Doctor wants to increase the Toprol to 50 mg because of my blood pressure going up for some reason. I have joined Curves for women in addition to the clogging and anticipate that this will work in wieght control and reducing my blood pressure. I really don't want to increase it from 25 mg. What do you think?
