Been taking Bystolic for three weeks, very good BP results; however diarrhea has been a problem. Has anyone else had this issue and will it go away when my body adjusts to the new med.

May have major sugery. They want a lower Blood persure. I have heard the surgey can not take place when talking Bystolic and you should where a medical alert in event of an emrgancy so they know how to treat the emergancy. ## The warnings actually state that you should make sure your doctor(s) know that you are on the medication, before you have any type of surgery. In these cases, your doctor has to weight the risk of your undergoing surgery untreated against any possible risk posed by your being on the medication when you have surgery. ## I was on atacand 8mg for high blood pressure... maintenance purposes.
