Posted I started Toprol XL a few weeks ago and noticed that this week my blood pressure has been running in the 120s/80s (which is normal by medical standards). But usually, my blood pressure is in the low 100s/60-70s. Is it possible that the beta blocker is increasing the BP? Perhaps because the heart is now beating more efficiently? I also have my period this week which I guess could also account for the increase in BP. Any ideas?
