I'm on several medications for high blood pressure and heart palpatations due to mitral valve prolapse. I am on Cardizem 240mg, Enapril 20 mg, and now Toprol (1/2) of a 25 mg. a day. (in the morn.) Now I've begun to have temporary hearing loss. My ears will ring and then it's as if I'm in a tunnel for the rest of the day. At night my ears clear up and I can hear normally again. Is anyone else out there having hearing problems?

I have been on Toprol XL for approximately 2 years. I started out on 25 mg. for palpations and rapid heart. Then the dosage was increased to 50 mg. and now the doctor wants me to take 100 mg. I have freezing hands and feet. My eyes are either so dry or watery so that I cannot hardly see. I have at times terrible shoulder, arm and leg pain. My brain feels likes it's full of goo. I can't think.
I am currently wearing a King of Hearts monitor. I have sent approximately 15 transmissions. During the transmissions I can hear my heart speeding up. The technician who takes my transmissions keeps telling me that my heart is beating normally. If that is the case, then I must ask my cardiologist at my next appointment, why am I taking Toprol and spending $35 a month for the medication if my heart is normal? By the way I am NOT increasing my dosage to 100 mg. I will stick with the 50 mg. for now and am considering tapering off even more.
