Nevivolol/Bisoprolol

[paulaelizabeth]

Has anyone been taking Nebivolol and found they couldn't tolerate it and then move back to Bisoprolol?

Other way round for me I have a slow heart rate bradycardia and it lowered it even more so doc tried Nebivolol and I tolerate that better . Were all different with effects and side affects of meds so have a chat with your doc and pharmacist . Hope you feel better soon

Thankyou. Have seen the Cardiologist this week. I would like to try Entresto but currently don't qualify although EF does seem to be going down and not up! Not holding out much hope for the change back to Bisoprolol!

Just going back to GP one week on nebivolol and feet swelling badly. Not had that except for 2 days with double dose of Tildiem

I didnt do at all well on Nebivolol. Wanted to sleep most of the day, plus a lot of joint and muscle pain.!! Cant believe how much better I feel since I came off it. Now taking low dose Bisoprolol and seem to be coping ok with that so far.We are all different so it's best to discuss with your GP.

I am on 1.2 of nebivoloL and I find it makes me very tired and causes joint and muscle pain too. Legs puffy too. Apart from those issues it does lower my heart rate to 72 bpm and pushes my bp down too. Before while only on diltiazem SR my heart rate was 95 bpm. I have been on Bisoprolol before but it made me wheeze so taken off it.

The cocktail of medication is very difficult to get right! I also take Ivabradine and if I can't tolerate Bisoprolol, Cardiologist is going to increase that and stop beta blockers. Watch this space .....

I think I am taking too much for bp. I was on Diltiazem sr for years 200 mg for AF and then added doxidozen 2 mg last august and now added to the brew nebivoloL 1.2. Which was for PVCs. But so tired can’t function. I think thyroxine at high doses to suppress thyroid cancer has caused AF or aggravated it.
