So I've been on Bisoprolol for about 7 years starting at 2.5mg then 3.75mg which I have been on for most of the last 7 years which absolutely no side effects that I am aware of. I recently had an increase in PVCs and PACs although they were still very low <1% for both but as they were powerful and affecting my QOL with elevated anxiety and all that comes with it the Cardiologist upped me to 5mg once daily in the morning to alleviate the symptoms. That was almost 2 weeks ago, and for the first week I have been fine but now in week two I feel exhausted and feel like I dozing off for a split second several times a day, in addition I am having what feels like flutters in my chest 2-3 times a day, with no associated side effects, although always within a couple of hours of having eaten, with a feeling of having trapped wind, which sometimes is there and does clear but on other occasions doesn't - this is a symptom I have never had before. I am due back to see the Cardiologist in 2 weeks so think I should sit it out and see if the symptoms alleviate but the flutters are worrying me most and causing elevated anxiety which is exacerbating the other... anyone had similar or any thoughts/advice?
