tenormin and withdrawal symptoms and/or risks

My name is Dave and I am 38 years old and have been diagonosed with mitral valve. I have been on tenormin for the last 15 years. Over the last six months I have been winded and unable to get my heart rate much over 70 even while exercising. Recently I went for a full battery of tests and all was fine with my heart. I cut my intake of tenormin from 25mg to 12 1/2mg and feel much better(daily dose). I have the energy that I had lost. My physician did not want me to cut the dose and I would like to know what side effects I should be on the look out for? What also is the length of time it takes to ween one off the medication and how should this be done?
Thanks for your help.
Dave
