Hello,
The Toprol, as you stated, would help with palpitations and may also help with blood pressure, if this is an issues as well.
If your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar are controlled, then this would reduce the risk of a heart attack especially, since you exercise.
You should let your doctor know about the problems that you are having.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
