I am on 50mg toprol (metoprolol) xl, but still suffer from heart fluttering what can i do?

Depends: Im assuming a full history and physical was done and secondary causes ruled out. You are going to be limited to some degree by BP and heart rate at base line. If your still having symptoms and the dose of toprol (metoprolol) is as high as can be tolerated by your heart rate and blood pressure then an eps study with possible ablation is the most definitive and effective aproach.
