Had my bisoprolol reduced to 2.5 + indapamide 2.5.
I stopped taking higher dosage of bisoprolol for 4days and felt so much better.
See how it goes.

My husband did really well on indapamide & found combination therapy worked so much better for him. Hope it works for you.
Interesting as it is diuretic used to lower blood pressure and as far as I know has no affect on AF. I was on it for some years till my BP started to go too low for me alongside Losartan.
Good luck! I'm on Apixaban 5mg twice and bisoprolol 5mg once. Started September 1st. Early November I had some high blood pressure readings in the evening. I had naively thought I wouldn't have high BP on taking these pills
Apixaban does nothing for high blood pressure as it is an anticoagulant much like aspirin.
Bisoprolol is a pro blocka that lowers one's heart rate and reduces the intensity of the heartbeats. The effect on blood pressure is rather small hence a calcium channel blocker or a dewatering tablet such as moduretic is taken as well to lower BP.
Hi Huntergatheter, I would just like to know in what way you feel better. I'm taking 7.5 bisoprolol.
When i stopped taking bisoprolol 10mg started feeling better almost immediately. After 3days felt great.
The side effects were horrible fatigue lack of energy etc.
Gp has lowered it to 2.5 with addition of indapamide 2.5.
So far so good.
I felt tired and breathless when taking Bisoprolol. In September after a visit to A and E , I was prescribed 1.25 Digoxin additionally and the Bisoprolol reduced to 5mg. I also take Apixaban twice daily.
I have felt so much better since, with no breathlessness and more energy. Although in permanent AF , I have no symptoms. Fingers crossed, if I maintain this, I am happy to be monitored with no further interventions.
