Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i was proscribed toprol 25 mg once a day. had sever side effects after taking 2nd dose. got up at about 5;30am to piss and almost fell down from dizyness if i haddent been in my rv where the walls are close i would have fallen. after pissing and returning to bead my heart was racing like when I finnished the stress test. could not go back to sleep so I showered and walked around the event i was at for over an hour, had my breakfast and opened my display for the day, by about 9;30am I was feeling very disy just sitting. called and talked to the oncall card who said if it got worse to call 911 and go to ER. Took a charcol capsul to exorb the poisen which helped some. the next day driving home the 100+ miles I had to stop and rest as I was still feeling a tightness in my chest. after 20 min I was well enough to continue home where i took 2 more charcole calsules. it took several days for my body to flush out this posen.
orthostatic hypotension could be a side effect with first few doses. so it is always advised to the patient to rise slowly from a lying down position rather than standing right up . but in your case your symptoms looked quite severe. meet your cardiologist.
