Hi... Can you list all the medications you are on. Most of us hearties are on quite a few. Currently social media is responsible for making people think any symptom is either a statin or Bisoprolol.

Weirdly, since having avr surgery 7 years ago, my migraines have actually stopped. I take warfarin, bisoprolol and losartan.

Hope you can find your triggers x

I am too, I suspect Bisoprolol as my dosage has just been increased. I’ve got an appointment with my Cardiologist tomorrow, I’ll ask and pass on the answer.

I’ve been on Bisoprolol 2.5 for the last six months and although I can be prone to migraine attacks I’ve not any during this time. Hope you sort this out, migraine can be very debilitating.

I have migraines with my vasospastic angina( coronary artery spasms and microvascular angina) episodes.

I get alot of chest pain and migraine at the same time.

Beta blockers and anti migraine medication in my case make the spasms worse so I mustn't take them.

Why have you been prescribed beta blockers?

Perhaps discuss your migraines with your GP and see if there is an alternative medication that you can take instead?
