Been having flutters and fast heart rate, I can physically feel these on my chest, not sure on their cause, still awaiting a diagnosis but i’m worried now I’ve started on Bisoprolol i’ll be on these for life.

Has anyone been on bisoprolol short term?

I'm on Bisoprolol for fast heart rate, although not short term. I've been on it for a year and I'm still taking it.

Shift work, seeing people in the community and driving around, standing on corridors.

Yeah i try to move around a bit, crouch, sit down when possible. Not always easy to do when in an A+E corridor.

Ive been finding hot showers and certain household chores set me off.

Gastric symptoms can set off my palps. Reflux & indigestion (heartburn) is a common cause. I have atrial fibrillation (AF) & I have to be careful what I eat & to have smaller portions, as not to bloat me. If you look on the Atrial Fibrillation Association website/forum there is a lot of discussion on it, & it also thought that it’s connected to the vagus nerve.
