Hello :-)I am finding I am getting this intermittently in my toes and fingers

I also take Bisoprolol which I think it says this can be a side effect

I am going to mention it to my Doctor tomorrow when I speak to her :-) x

It took me a while to get used to that, fingertips and feet. I always associated it with my diabetes and poor blood flow.I get checked over by the diabetes nurse once a year and always mention it but she never seems concerned, even though my feet especially have quite a lot of numbness.

I am on the same 3 meds as you plus several others, I'd never thought of it being one of those tbh.

I'd definately mention it to your Dr next opportunity you get.

I wonder what dose of Bisoprolol you are on. I was initially on 3.75mg and had a similar experience, along with other side effects such as dizziness when standing up. It also exacerbated my Raynauds Syndrome with my fingers and toes going white and shutting down. It was very painful when they returned to normal. I still have some issues on 1.25mg, but I can cope with them.

I would refer your experience to your GP.
