Answers:
I take the same medication Metotorol is the same as Toporol, I recommend you to consult with your physician only he/she can wean you off this medication!.I would suggest to your Dr!. to get a heart scan done w/ nuclear medicine to see if there something else going on, or suggest him to put you on a Holster monitor for a 24 hour period, that will record any irregular heart beat!.!. One thing I did learn from taken Metotoprol is too much caffeine will make ur heart flutter!.!.So stay away from caffeine and drink plenty of water with this medication helps!.!.!. a normal pulse can range from 60 to 100 beats a minute!.!.!. No this medication does not slow down your digestive system, you need to walk or do cardio exercise!.!.!.!. I hope this helped you, but what ever you do never stop taking it you need to be wean off this medication,cause if you don't it will cause chest pains,heart Attack,and even death!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi, - It' s Sunday here now, and I can give you the reference you need, to understand what's going on!.
If you look up on Google the name of Prof!. P!.J!. Devereaux, in Canada, you'll be able to see in all it's starkness, the result of his findings on the lethal effects of beta-blocking on patients with impaired cardiac function!.
He estimates that hundreds of thousands of post-operative patients been (literally) killed by administering beta blockers to them!.
My work predicted this four years ago, and his recently-published Paper on the subject merely validated what I saw was inevitable!.
Read it, and weep for those who are now needlessly dead, and thank your lucky stars that you've averted your own dearth by being bright enough to see the obvious, and courageous enough to stop taking the medication!.
In answer to the other views, it simply isn't true that "Doctor Knows Best" !. Your doctor is too busy to keep abreast of new developments in this research field, and cannot possibly know, therefore, that within 5 years beta-blockers will be withdrawn as treatments for these kinds of malady!.
There are, -of course, - several alternative drug therapies available to alleviate palpitations!. By all means try them, but remember palpitations, -by themselves, are not necessarily all that bad, and in many cases are better to endure than the side-effects of the pills you take to "cure" them!. Soon you get more pills to "cure the side-effects" and before you know it, you're a rattling bucketful of pills!!.
My best wishes to you, and I invite you to look at my Profile!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
