HI, I had a stent fitted the beginning of December and was put on Ramipril, Bisoprolol, Isosorbide Mononitrate, Atorvastatin, Clopidogrel & Aspirin (and Lansoprazole for reflux).
In the last 3 weeks or so I have started to feel unsteady on my feet. This tends to go away if I walk for a few minutes, but gets worse through the day. I have used a blood pressure monitor soon after an unsteady spell, and I often have low heart rate (50 or so) but high blood pressure (160/90 not unusual, sometimes higher). GP thought it might be the Bisoprolol and cut the dose from 2.5 mg to 1.25 mg. About half a day after this, I felt very tense and had headaches and trouble sleeping, and heart rate seemed to go right up. Because of this went back up to 2.5 mg Bisoprolol, after a couple of days, but wondered now if I should have stuck with the 1.25 mg, as unsteadiness is hanging around.
Also getting headaches and slight ringing in ears, again often later in day. I am a long term migraine sufferer so have had ringing in ears before, but not for this long.
Maybe the depressed heart rate is driving the unsteadiness and high blood pressure, as it can't go up to match the exertion level when I get up and do things? Wonder what you all think and what your experience has been.
I am getting a MRI to check there is nothing else happening in the head just to be sure as well.
