Hello

Thank you for your helpful comments regarding my giving Flecainide the flick. As I am in full time AF I have been put on Bisoprolol, 1.25mg to start with, to bring my heart beat down to 70 bpm Have been on it for 12 days and have now been getting severe leg cramps including a cramp on the top of my foot when driving.

Has any other member had this problem and if so did you have your medication changed.

Yes, absolutely, Bisoprolol can cause a lot of different side effects, I am now on Atenolol which is so much better for me. Go back to GP or Cardiologist and as to get off Bisoprolol.
