I don’t understand why my GP wants to increase my meds next week I am on bisoprolol 1.25 Iverbradine 5mg twice a day my question is this my blood pressure is 100/55 pulse average between 55 /65 yet she wants to increase. Even though they knock me out I have never ever had high blood pressure. Nor a high pulse although without meds my pulse is around 70 plus I take statings Asprin and clopidogrel I am 5 weeks post stent one only I had a nstemi with only a 40 percent block but they put the stent in while they were there maybe as I work there they wanted to keep me saf3 lol who knows I had a 52percent lvd so not to bad start rehab in 3 weeks. Walking half a mile at least everyday feel well in body my head as not caught up I have asthma so need to be carful with beta blockers

Thanks for reading advice would be great

Ps the hope is to increase up to 10mg bisopolol good for the heart not the breathing

hi there,

Did you ask your GP why they feel it necessary to increase the dosage?

Yeah it was on my discharge letter to increase until can’t tolorate anymore. In other words when I can’t breath or on the floor then stop
