I recently had a tummy tuck w/ mr and developed high blood pressure due to stress related complication which are all begining to work themselves out. I went to Dr. because my BP was high. I periododically have a problem with bp for like 1 or 2 weeks out of the year and it goes away (when under extreme stress). I normally have a bp without meds 112/72. I am average weight, eat right and exercise ALOT.. But since the surgery with no exercise and stress high my bp was 140/100.. He put me on toprol xl 50mg and since then I have not been myself.. I have no personality and am not my energetic bubbly self. I am and always have been a cheerful person.. But not I actually feel sad sometimes.. This is concerning to be because I know this is not my nature.. I have been taking my bp reading daily and it has been between the mid 120 over the low 80's. Yesterday my bp was 116/78 at 10:00am..

Has anyone else felt these feeling I am explaining.. I know I am not myself and I try to play happy but I feel weird.. Very weird.. Will my body adjust?? Whats going on???

Any advice would be great..

alison,

Beta-blockers can be hard drugs to take. They can be depressing, exhausting, fatiguing...but can even cause insomnia.
Tell your doctor and maybe the two of you can find another drug class...you have several choices.
