Atrial Fib

[Earlybird22]

Hello I’m new here…I’m 68 on Bisoprolol and cholesterol tabs.

I’ve put on weight, my hair is falling out, I’m exhausted most of time, go boiling hot so my head and face is running… ( lovely) , get the A Fib attacks daily so find myself cancelling stuff or not going out just in case.

Anyone the same??

That sounds awful for you. Have you had your thyroid and other things checked?

Good morning early bird. I am very sorry to read your post, it sounds an awful combination of side effects. Why not have a chat with your doctor? . While I was taking Bisoprolol I too experienced Atrial Fibrillation, likewise my sister who lives in Italy. In her case was so bad she was taken to A&E and had her heart stopped and started again. I asked my doctor to take me off the Bisoprolol and symptoms disappeared. We all react differently to medication.... I don't know what Bisoprolol was prescribed to you for, but I feel our quality of life should not be put on the line to avoid running a potential risk to our health.

I have since consulted an Ayurveda doctor who prescribed herbal remedies to slow the heart down which do not give me side effects.

With best wishes
