Dull pain in right side started about the same time as starting Toprol XL (25mg) about 2 years ago. Also started being treated for GERD around that time. For the past year, dosage of Toprol XL was increased to 50mg. The GERD is getting worse and dull pain in right side is still there and radiating towards the front and back. Docs have ruled out any problems with kidney, gall bladder, UTIs. All blood work normal.
