Bisoprolol and Amiodarone

I have been on Flecainide for over a year , very few Afib episodes and feeling fit and healthyAfter a sudden episode this week , my heart up to 170 beats a minute , and three days in hospital , I find myself on 500mg Bisoprolol Fumarate and 200mg Amiodarone Chlorhydrate

Pulse now hovering between 40 and 45 and blood pressure 9 over 6

Based on all your experiences , should I decrease the bisoprolol dose ? Seems a bit over the top to me

Thank you as always for your advice and comments

Sorry but I think your bisoprolol dose cannot be right. Decimal place wrong?

Hi Summerlily

Please review your figures for Bisoprolol, should this be 5mg?

If your blood pressure was 9 over 6, I think you'd be at deaths door. Do you mean 90/60 or 190/60?
