Agba - what were you taking toprol xl for in the first?I have been taking toprol xl 50mg for 23yrs.I started having neck tightening,palpitation and anxiety before I was placed on Toprol xl 50mg.I am 46yrs old now.I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse 23yrs ago.My MVP was not shown by echo because according to the doctor mine is very mild.The neck tightening you are experiencing might be related to dysautonomia.I think Toprol xl can cause this symptom if it is not well tapered down.Like stopping cold turkey.Dysautonomia is a series of autonomic nevous systemtem reaction that prepare you for flight with increased adrenalin in the system.You could have papitations,anxiety,light headedness with your situation as well when you abruptly stopped taking this mdication.Please work with your MD.I am a Licensed PT.
