Bisoprolol?

Been on Bisoprolol for a while. Gradually reducing- now on 2.50mg a day. Curious- does anyone get headaches, on this amount ?

No headaches. Have been on 2.5 for 4 years and I take it at night to reduce any effects. I used to be on 10 daily prior to my ablation and have recently been told to increase my dose to 3.75 daily. I have fibrosis in my left atrium due to radiotherapy on my shoulder so the bisoprolol is supposed to help by reducing my heart rate from 80 to about 65.

Couldn’t tolerate bisoprolol at all, even the smallest dose sent me dizzy and heart rate way too low. Just take Flecainide and BP tablet and warfarin.

Meds started 25years ago and have gradually increased over time.

Eg Flecainide 100mg x 2 a day. Jo.

Hi TenorJK. I think Bisop. and me don,t get on. Thought it might be something else? but I know I want to get it changed. Thank you. Ed1532.

Yes- I would get a headache start like clockwork 2 hours after taking the dose. Reducing it to 1.25 stopped this though I still felt lethargic. I now take Nebivolol and have never noticed a headache on this.

Hi Auriculaire. I am going to get my Bisop. changed. Will try Nebivolol same as you. Ed1532.

I was on 2.5 Bisoprolol, got headaches, stiff neck, dream a lot more, also on Flecainaide. Cut the Bisoprolol in half to 1:25, headache gone😊 I’ve noticed I get a lot more aches and stiffness, not sure what causes that🙄
