Almost certainly bisoprolol is the culprit. Cold feet and hands are a known side effect. Oddly, I had freezing cold hands, but not feet, when I was taking this.
I was taking 2 x 5 mg Bisoprolol and suffered very poor circulation in fingers and toes. So bad that I was having vascular spasms in some fingers in the cold . Toes are much easier to keep warm and walking helps the circulation. As soon as I stopped the Bisoprolol after successful ablation the problems stopped.
I've been on ramipril for 10 years with no problem but since taking bisopropol and apaxiban my feet have been colder. I thought it was me getting older but perhaps they are the cause.
Hi Higgy52, I am on similar medication to you i.e. Bisoprolol and Ramipril but different anti coagulant and also suffer with cold hands and feet, particularly feet. I would agree that Bisoprolol is the culprit confirmed by my EP. Have invested in a pair of Finnish felt carpet slippers (5 mm thick) which are perfect.
It'll be the bisoprolol, pre being prescribed this I would be fine temperature wise with a t-shirt shorts and bare feet in the house all through the winter as my wife felt the cold and the house was always too warm for me.
Now I sit under a blanket, socks and slippers, PJ's and a bath robe and I'm still cold.
Don't even entertain going to watch a game of rugby anymore, my feet get way too painful in the cold 😢
