I started taking 0.625 mg (the lowest possible dose) of Bisoprolol 9 months ago because of mitral prolapse syndrome which caused my heart to race on exertion. I soon noticed I had put on several pounds in weight despite eating the same amount and exercising the same amount. Since then I have been determined to get back to the weight I was before I started taking this medication but it seems impossible. I am eating less and trying to exercise more but this is difficult because another side effect I suffer is extreme tiredness. I also seem to get a distended stomach which gets worse as the day progresses. I feel like I am half the person I was before taking this medication in terms of the energy I have and feel exhausted a lot of the time. I've practically given up doing the exercise classes I used to do but still do a lot of walking. I am a few pounds heavier than I was originally and am working hard to prevent myself from putting on more weight. It's all making me feel quite depressed so I have asked my GP to re-refer me back to the cardiologist for his opinion.

So pleased I got into this web site. My husband has been on Bisoprolol for years. He constantly complains of dreadful tiredness, shortness of breath, weight gain for no apparent reason. Was put on Statins years ago heart attack after long years on taking them, now has 5 stents inserted. So was put on Bisoprolol Fumerate has swelling of abdomen feet and legs, constant headaches. Numbness in legs, they feel "woolly" like another poster said "body doesn't feel like his own".

Many thanks to all subscribers you have helped me enormously.

I work on a Cardio Thoracic ward and never understood why G.Ps prescribe Statins. Most of the extra medication given causes side effects. Prior to being put on this "SO-CALLED HEART MEDICATION" He had no heart problems whatsoever.

I could use some advice. I recently turned 55 and about 2 years ago I found out that I had psvt (heart rate elevated to 237 bpm in less than 5 mins on the treadmill in a stress test) Anyway, it has kept the rapid and irregular heartbeat to a minimum but at a price. I had thought it was just me when I started losing hair. I'm not just losing hair but it's so much thinner I can comb it with a fine tooth comb. I have also put on 15 lbs. I have worked out and walked all of my life and don't even have a weigh scale as my weight has never been much of an issue. Suddenly, hair loss, vision is worse, teeth are worse and I'm feeling very very down. I was basically told that bisoprolol fumerate? was best for me as it has the least amount of side effects and when I mentioned to the cardiologist that I was concerned about my recent weight gain he just stated the obvious, that I consumed to many calories and didn't work out enough. So, I get that I am in menopause etc., but I do know what's normal for me and what isn't and this is NOT normal. I am taking a half a tab daily which amounts to 2.5 mg approx. Is there ANYTHING I can take other than this drug that has less side effects? I am so not myself these days.

for anyone just starting to take bisoprolol, please hang on in there! I have been taking 5mg now for 2 years, when I started, I felt so so tired, hard to get out bed. consultant explained, because my heart would be slowing down, this is normal, but . . . after 6 months I started to feel much better. this is because the heart will become stronger eventually due to the help of bisoprolol. the worst thing for me has been thinning hair, small cost to pay I guess, as still alive and kicking!

We're like guinea pigs. My father was on a diuretics for high blood pressure for 5 years it did little. When he was 76 they put him on bisoprolol from 2.5, increasing to 10 mg after couple of weeks. His diolostic figure dropped like crazy and they had to cut it back straight away down to 2.5. They could have brought him off it but kept him at 133 over 40, no tiredness or anything. Sometimes experimentation is the only way. As you know, there's beta blockers, blood thinners, (and as i mentioned) diuretics ... all for blood pressure. You prob know that beta blockers slow your heartbeat down. That could be lowering oxygen slightly in the blood, making you tired. You have to demand things or doctors just want u out of their surgery.

I had a catheter ablation about 12 years ago. I'm 40 now. Have been on bisoprolol for two years. Works great so far. I also take 1 mg of klonopin and Zoloft for anxiety. I still have afib from time to time. The earlier in the morning I take the beta blocker the better. I am tired all the time but the other meds play a role in that. Overall much better on meds than off meds. Better living through chemistry

Hi , I'm on concor 2.5mg for about 1.5 month because of sudden increase of my blood pressure, then my neurologist prescribed inderal for me instead of concor, he said this increase in B.P is due to anxiety & some panic attacks. Can you please tell me how to take inderol , I mean no problem to take inderal the next dose instead of concor , or should I decrease concor gradually then start with inderal 10 mg.Thanks in advance.
