Does anyone have itchy skin

[Knittinganimals]

Hi I am suffering from itchy skin all over my body together with night sweats and numbness, pins and needles not only in my legs and arms but head and shoulders! I have afib and am on bisoprolol and apixaban. Any ideas

Hello. I have same people every evening and night. I also taking bisoprolol 5mg. I think its bisoprolol . It have strong side effects!

Me too, with the itchy skin thing. It can be very distracting on occasion. I have tried different body washes and shampoos, but no relief. I agree with Janna, it must be the bisoprolol!

i had the same after starting Bisprolol but it went away after a few months

I am suffering very badly with night sweats at the moment but that is absolutely down to perimenopause. Itchy skin is also a symptom. I have been on bisoprolol 2.5mg for years with no issues although it has just been increased to 5mg, so could be a contributing factor

Taking apixaban and another BP medication, forgot what it is.

For all adverse reactions, talk to GP as they may well be aware of the issue, but since you have not told them....

Hi, try a cool shower before bed, windows open (cold bedroom) and antihistamines. HTH

Thank you for your reply. I have had these symptoms for a few months too and it is driving me crazy all the itching and burning all over! My doctor seems to think it’s beta blockers causing it but who knows. I am seeing a cardiologist tomorrow about the beta blockers so will hopefully find out more even though it seems like nerve damage to me. Good luck to you

ty so much for replying, take care
