Bisoprolol!!

Hello

I’m new here

I’m 23f

I have anxiety induced tachycardia since 8 months.

Cardiologist put me on 5mg propranolol I took it for 6 days then was switched to Bisoprolol I took 1.25 mg once then stopped both of them .

Because they won’t let me sleep and my bp was too low all the time.

However, its been 2 days and I think I have a rebound tachycardia. How long does this last?

It says that the drug would be out of your system in 2/3 days, Doc appointment end of the month can’t really talk to him.

I got rebound/withdrawal from 10mg propanalol after being on it for a month. It’s scary stuff.

How long till it go away? And did you take anything with it? I’m trying to stop beta blockers all together

Well I saw a cardiologist privately and he put me on bisoprolol to stop the palpitations caused by GP stopping propanalol too abruptly. I would advise u get a telephone appointment with a GP urgently next week so they can advise a tapering regime. Or even speak to a chemist. Monitor ur heart rate and blood pressure if u have a Fitbit or BP machine. Good luck.

I'm not sure why you stopped the Bisoprolol so quickly. I'm still trying to get the balance right. I started on 2.5mg in July, then the cardiologist doubled it but I reported that I was feeling tired and getting poor circulation in my fingers. I'm now taking 3.75mg. I think it's a bit of a process of trial and error where you balance off what's acceptable in terms of side effects with the tachycardia.

I don't have your condition but I have been on bisoprolol 2.5mg long term, or other beta blockers, for about 20 years. It takes time for your body to adjust and , yes, they do make you feel a bit tired, but I had to adjust (lifestyle included). It's a trade-off because they keep my AF under control and things would be a lot worse if it wasn't under control!
