Does Increasing Dosages Of Toprol Cause Any Side Effects?

My Mother has not felt well today and feels weak/lethargic. She is 74 and has Afib and congestive heart failure. She has had 2 blood pressure readings in the last 3 hours with the diastolic around 47. She is breathing without any difficulty and is not having any chest pain. The doctors recently double her toprol from 25 mg to 50mg daily. Is it normal that it will take her body time to adjust.
