" hi again a dye test will show if you have any blockage in your heart, that is causeing your blood pressure to go up . i have been on toprol 25 for years, i did have to go up to 50 mg , but came back down to 25, but mite have to go back up , cause my blood pressure is going up again, but i had a stent put in 1 year ago and it has done close up on me, i think that is what is making mine go up , , toprol is a old drug,
and it is good , i have tried the new drugs and dose not do me any good,
plus i do not like taking te new ones , to me i will stay with the older drugs ,
hope you get better soon,
they will find what works for you , they will have to try diffent ones , but you will find thhe one tat works best for you
have a great day ,. "
