Is this Coreg withdrawal?

I have recently stopped taking Coreg 6.25ng and started on Cozaar 50mg to manage my blood pressure which is working out really great according to measurements. I was weaned from Coreg by taking just my dosage at night and skipping the morning one for two weeks and then to stop. Since about a week after I cut down to once a day I started to notice a constant pounding heart. I'm now 2 days off of it totally and I've just been a but sensitive to physical activity as my heart rate will go up to about 100 bpm walking around and having a bit of shortness of breath on and off.  The pounding though has got so bad that I can't sit still as it cause my head to bob when completely still and even at times my upper body to sway. If I stand perfectly still my body sways to my heartbeat.

I've also had Anxiety issues for about 10 years so I don't know if some of this could be contributed to that. I stopped my zoloft after a slow wean and have been off of that for about 2 months now and I stopped my hctz in an effort to get my total meds I take down to like 1 pill if possible and am just afraid that I could have been having interaction problems with it all.

Anyone that's gone off Coreg had these problems? Should I make a visit to the doctor or stick it out? I guess I should throw in there that I smoke too and feel that could be a contributing factor to this pounding.

Hi, its unlikely that coreg withdrawal can cause your palpitations. Cozaar can cause dizziness or lightheadedness may occur as your body adjusts to the medication. It is also known to cause palpitations. So, if your symptoms are troublesome, consult your doctor he may change the dosage or medication. Regards.

I should also include I'm having headaches and some abdominal pain.
