For High Blood Pressure "Been on this for three weeks now. It’s great for keeping my blood pressure normal . Gone through the headaches but now for a week my body is sore and weak. It’s hard to move about. I will be talking to my doc. I really don’t want to go off because of good blood pressure. I was in the hospital weekly and very scared. I'm on a low dose 2.5 daily."

For Angina Pectoris Prophylaxis "At 2.5mg daily dose, experienced fatigue initially, this either dissipated or became the New Normal so I don't recognize it any longer. Effective for decreasing frequency of tachycardia; beta-blocker reduce re-occurrence of heart attack statistically, and so far has for me, for 4 years. The "vivid dreams" are a major factor to poor sleep for me: always very unpleasant, if not nightmares."

For High Blood Pressure "I have been taking bisoprolol for three weeks now. It has helped me immensely to bring down my blood pressure, No other medication did this for me. But now I am getting headaches and extremely tired. I am praying this gets better as it has big time disruptions to my daily routine. I also take Candesartan , and amlodipine. All low doses . I have been on the other two for many years. Bisoprolol keeps me out of the hospital with counts of 180/98 up to 200. Talk about anxiety. I don’t want to stop but really hoping these headaches and tiredness goes away. I am 74 . I rated a 8 because of my new blood pressure. Not so good for the two side effects."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "I have been on bis for six months now. At the beginning I felt better and no side effects. However, gradually I noticed that I am losing more hair. Looking up online , it says beta blocker would be toxic to hair follicles and cause hair thinning . Too worried, I decide to start weaning it off."

For Heart Failure "Been on 3.75mg for two years. Recently I am feeling very very lightheaded and have had to lie down all day. I will try decreasing the dosage to 2.5 mg now to see if it helps my blood pressure and make my heartbeat normal."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "After what I believe may have been a heart attack. Five major chest blows. Two months of bed rest. I went to internal medicine doctor was put on Bisoprolol 5mg and started losing fluid. I lost the 60 pounds of fluid I gained. I was finally able to urinate a decent amount . I'm now seven years on it and I believe its losing its effect. Water weight is back but also believe getting the flu contributed to the set back. I don't know where to go from here."

For High Blood Pressure "Heart rate drops to 55 to 60 per minute and does not go up beyond 70-75 even with exercise. Recovery to low heart beat rate very fast after exercise. Feel quite tired often. Dosage 2.5 mg bd. And Losartan 50mg bd. Is this dosage too much?"

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "Been taking it for two months and it doesn’t let my heart rate get above 120 which is amazing as it used to hit 190 just standing up. However I am so extremely dizzy and faint on this medication. I get head rushes constantly and have been bedridden due to it. I’m now switching to metoprolol and hoping that will make a difference. Tried to taper off of bisoprolol and had the worst chest pains."

"I’ve been on this medicine for Sinus tachycardia for a little while now. I definitely feel a difference compared to other medications I have used in the past. Ever since I have been on it I have had very few side effects and the medication lasts all day. Definitely works!"
