hello spoke to my af nurse today , now decided not to treat me with verapamil , as she don’t quite know what she is treating, so going to have a 7 day event monitor sometime in the future, been on flec and bisop for 13 yrs but now getting awful side effects from one of them ? So now I’m to try pill in pocket with flec , and take my bisopolol everyday , if dosnt suit me go back to normal routine, but that is making me feel like I’m being poisoned and my stomach clenches so tight , feels like I could pass out . I’m on 50 flec twice aday and 2.5 bisop am 1.25 Eve , she said I only need to take 1.25bisop , but I said no due to feeling tight and blood pressure creeps up a bit ,feeling very anxious about the change, never had side effects in all these yrs , but things started to change from august 2023 , I also take thyroid meds

Why do you think your problems side effects? Have you had any medical tests to rule out other medical conditions? If you had no side effects before your GP should be looking for an explanation for those symptoms.

Well I’ve been keeping a diary , and also was given diltiazem to try with flec , so stopped bisoprolol, for one day got pounding heart from diltiazem, but no awful side effects , took bisop next day and they returned, so realy not sure what to do
