A member asked:
My blood pressure has been too low and i've been having daily headaches can i just stop taking toprol (metoprolol) xl for a few days to see if my headaches go away?

Go see your doctor: Record your blood pressure a few times daily while resting, not after activity or exercise. Bring BP cuff w/you for nurse visit to check your BP w/their cuff. Without getting off chair, recheck your BP using your cuff on same arm as nurse. This will help your doc interpret your BP readings from home. If your BP truly low at home, ask your doc for alternatives, like decreasing dose of toprol (metoprolol) xl.
