Strange runny nose

[cjbroon]

Question, I'm on 2.5mg bisoprolol, 20mg losartan, 25mg artovastatin and 75mg soluble aspirin I also take omeprazole. I've developed this strange runny nose. It's not like a normal runny nose but like water suddenly starts rapidly dripping out. More so when I bend over. Does anyone else experience this on the medication I have no other symptoms other than that happening.

It’s the Bisoprolol and my cardiologist said a lot of patients taking it experience this side effect.

[cjbroon in reply to Celtic]

Thanks, I'll have a, word with my Cardiologist at my next appointment and see if she can suggest anything.

[Celtic in reply to cjbroon]

Good luck! If you do get any good advice, I would be very grateful if you could share it please as my consultant didn’t offer any helpful suggestions.

[cjbroon in reply to Celtic]

Will do

Hello I am on the same medications I have had the same runny nose four a few weeks now?

[benjijen]

Yes I have that, even worse when doing my cardiac rehab!!

[Dj1962]

I'm on the same meds..and had a runny nose for months now..

[COYW]

I have a runny nose virtually all the time especially outdoors but I’m not on the same meds. I just thought it was the curse of being 62 😀

[Mikedabike]

Plenty of answers already, but yes, for me it was the bisoprolol that caused my runny nose. It only stopped when I no longer needed to take it.

[Chico675]

Was about to post a similar question. I take nebivolol instead is of bisoprolol as I could not stand the side effects. Also on ramipril not losartan but my nose has started doing same thing. It is very annoying.

As others have said, Bisoprolol ,I'm on 2.5 mg ,

have been for 4 years, i seem to be sniffing permanently,

It seems to get worse when I'm eating,

which can be embarrassing when eating out ,

I'm also on Ramipril.

I have found Bisoprolol makes me more prone to hay fever and hence a runny nose. I also have a runny nose when eating... thankfully not badly!

[Tillymint1971 in reply to MountainGoat52]

Yes, I was figuring it was hay fever. Hadn’t made the connection with the drug.

[MountainGoat52 in reply to Tillymint1971]

With the exception of Oil Seed Rape, I never suffered with hay fever before I went on Bisoprolol.... and I only have 1.25mg a day.

Me too, worse in cold weather

[Hidden]

And me,plus my nose is always cold.

[MountainGoat52 in reply to Hidden]

How are your fingers and toes? You may have Reynauds Syndrome (as I have) and Bisoprolol makes it worse.

[Hidden in reply to MountainGoat52]

My fingers and toes do go cold at times.After my night shifts I shower then go to bed and have to wear socks because my toes are so cold,otherwise I can't sleep.

[MountainGoat52 in reply to Hidden]

Sounds like it. If your fingers go white, then almost certainly you have some aspect of Reynauds. My hands and feet are never completely warm except in bed.... even in summer!

[STUBAX]

Me too, and worse when eating. Been like this for 4 1/2 years since taking meds.

[Dockdog]

Bisopropol seems to be the culprit. I am only on 1.25 dose but it still happens, mealtimes and at other moments too. Very embarrassing at times. My eyes also produce tears as well. Is there an alternative drug I wonder? Hate it!

[IanGordon]

Yep, count me in too - bisoprolol dew drop!

1.25 mg and usually only when I exercise which I guess is a blessing.

[Wightbaby]

me too!! nasal drip! was same on Metoprolol

[Prada47 in reply to Wightbaby]

Hello

I once heard that this is sometimes referred to as " Old Mans Drip "

Apologies to all the Young Ladies who have posted -)

Next time I am on the Sea Front in Poole I will give you a wave !!

[Wightbaby in reply to Prada47]

Ha ha! well next time I am in Poole....I will give you a wave too!

My father in law lives there...............probably won't be visiting for a while, sadly!!

[Sanpedro2019]

Yes as the other messages my nose runs to and it gets cold which i never had till heart failure I take enozyl 20 mg Busoprolol 2.5 mg Ramipril 2.5 Aspin 74 mg

[isobelhannah18]

I still have the same problem although I have changed from Bisoprolol to Ivabradine. It's not quite as bad but it's definitely still a nuisance. The only drug I have in common with you is Aspirin.

[isobelhannah18]

sorry- and Atorvastatin
