I was prescribed Bystolic (nebivolol) to help with heart palpitations.
Has anyone taken Bystolic (nebivolol) for heart palpitations?

I have been taking 5 mg of Bystolic daily for palpatations/arrhythmia for a year. The medicine is working exceptionally well for me with no side effects except a 5-10 point drop in my blood pressure. I hope it works as well for you. I normally have low blood pressure, so I have to be sure to stand slowly to avoid dizziness. Best of luck and health to you. --

It will take a week or two for your tummy to adjust, but it will. I drank lots of gingerale for my queasiness, which helped. Also kept crackers handy to munch on. Now I have no problems with the Bystolic. It truly is one of the better meds for palpatations/arrhythmia, according to my cardiologist. --
Thank you, Gingerale and crackers it is...
This medicine seems to be popular for treatment of arrythmias. The doctor is most likely going to put me on this after my echo and holter monitor results come back.

I have an update. I started on five mg of Bystolic, I am now on ten mg. I was put on a low dose blood pressure med, lisonopril 10 mg. My tummy is now used to the meds, but my heart rate is now very low, 50 - 60. So far no dizziness. I am finding that food combos are having affects on the palipatations. Been working on the problem since August... Hope my Doc finds the right combination of meds for me...

I am going to be put on Bystolic for the same reason, my heart palpitations and valve prolapse and I was wondering how well it worked for those of us who arent using it for blood pressure. Thanks for your post, it makes me not as nervous to use.
