Hi there,
I was diagnosed earlier this year with SVT (a form of arrythmia) and have tried having the cardiac Ablation procedure which unfortunately did not work. They have now suggested I start on a low dose of Bisoprolol but I’m slightly nervous about taking it as I’m only 21 years old and of quite a small frame anyway with a blood pressure naturally on the lower side.
Has anyone on here taking bisoprolol and can share their experiences on it please? Thankyou!
Hi. I take Bisoprolol following a heart attack last year. I am much older though! However I am extremely sensitive to medication so when I started the drug I was floored by 2.5. They changed it to 1.25 but I agreed under the supervision of my doctor to cut the tablet (it’s not precise) and I started taking one quarter for a couple of days but then increased to half then three quarters etc. It worked well for me. But I stress it was with discussion with my GP and I do this with all of my tablets as I have particular sensitivities. I am now well settled on 1.25 and when I had to reduce other tablets have done the reverse ie going down to 3/4 then 1/2 etc. I hope that helps. Maybe talk to your GP or your local pharmacist who also has helped me enormously with my medication adaptation. Take care and let us know how you get on. Best wishes. Zena
