Anyone any feedback on this for AFib? I’ve just been prescribed it as I couldn’t tolerate Bisopropol. Under warnings/precautions it is citing it may hide high heart rate as in tachycardia and Thyroid (presumably hyperthyroid patients). Tablets are 2.5 mg and I have to take half a tablet daily.
Nebivolol: Anyone any feedback on this... - Atrial Fibrillati...
Nebivolol
I prefer it. I didn't like Bisoprolol. I take the 2.5. It doesn't hold my heart rate down as much as Bisoprolol did, but I feel better. My resting HR is in the 90's, I'm in persistent AF, so I'm OK with that.
Thankyou for info - wouldn’t want to increase my heart rate though ….
I take 1.25mg evenings but from time to time I have to stop as my BP drops below 110/65 and I start getting presyncope.
I was on 10mg of Bisoprolol and have been changed to 5mg of Nebivolol. I've found I tolerate it it much better. I don't have a thyroid and have been on Levothyroxine for 36 years. You are on a very low dosage so I wouldn't worry, don't forget the PSL always states any and every adverse effect, many of us are on multiple meds for our heart issues and the PSL's can give you the Heebie jeebies!
I find Nebivolol much easier to tolerate than Bisoprolol. I find it does not do as good a job as Bisoprolol to reduce heart rate when having an afib attack but for everyday use I find it better. I get attacks about 6 times a year at the moment.
Many thanks for very helpful feedback. I’m in AFib constantly since diagnosed about 2 months ago so any easing of symptoms is welcome
I was switched to Nebivolol 7.5mg ( 1& 1/2 tablets) for the same reason apart from it giving sleep problems
