For Supraventricular Tachycardia "This medication almost took my life. During the 6 years I was on it, my cardiologist kept raising the dose. I had difficulty standing on my feet, developed severe headaches, slurred speech, and dark veiled vision. Over time, my fingers turned dark purple like grape juice. I reached the point where I could not sit up one morning without help. My daughter discovered my back was dark purple as well. The emergency room doctor took me off immediately, stating a severe reaction."

For High Blood Pressure "I have been taking Metoprolol 25mg once a day for 13 days. It has lowered my heart rate by about 30 beats a minute but I am always tired, get chest pain, headache, and numbness. Little to no benefit in lowering my blood pressure (140/95's)."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "I was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia two weeks ago and was put on Toprol 25 mg a day. It didn't work in bringing down my pulse, so the doctor increased it to 50 mg a day until I see my heart doctor. I have to say that I do not like the side effects: heavy feeling in my chest, tired all the time, headaches, etc. I hope my doctor recommends ablation because I don't think I can take this medicine much longer."
