I am 50 years old in reasonably good health.My dr recently changed my high blood pressure meds. to a beta blocker because my heart rate was a little high.I had run out and had a problem getting them and had been without for a week but I just got it filled and took ne lastnight.

I do not think that stopping Beta blocker can cause pain on right side of back. I think it may be aback strain or muscle fatigue which can happen if your back remain in wrong position for long time like in travelling, sleeping , even watching tv or reading a magazine. You can apply a gel like diclofenenc. Alos if pain is a little worse, pain killers can help. Again do not think that beta blocker has any thing to cause back pain.
