For High Blood Pressure "I have been on the drug for a few weeks at night only 80 mg. I am experiencing some swelling, dizziness, and problems sleeping, but the worst is I developed tinnitus the day I started taking it, and it never stops. I don’t see any mention of that side effect. It is controlling high numbers at night and often drops very low during the day when I’m active."

For High Blood Pressure "Edarbi caused insomnia and a speedy feeling during the day, along with a strange taste in my mouth. It was the only drug I was taking. I was switching from Avapro to Edarbi because the Avapro wasn't keeping my BP down well enough. I had to stop the Edarbi due to these side effects after taking half of a 40 mg pill, then reduced to half of that (10 mg), still caused the effects that I never had on Avapro, and they are the same drug class."

For High Blood Pressure "I'm a 73-year-old male with hereditary hypertension. I have always maintained a healthy lifestyle, i.e., active and fit with no overweight issues. My cardiologist prescribed Edarbi 80 in 2021 and lowered my BP. After two days, I experienced night after night of insomnia leading to depression and severe anxiety. After three weeks, my BP readings climbed inexplicably after seeming to initially drop to 120/78. My Dr. changed my BP meds, taking me off Edarbi, but he later told me I must get back on it. Now, having taken it for five months, Edarbi 80 no longer works for me with my systolic numbers averaging 155/78. I also continue to experience long-haul insomnia issues, which I believe are caused by Bystolic 80. I am now cutting the pills in half in order to eventually get to a 1/4 tablet, hoping to wean completely off Bystolic. It does not lower my BP, and I pray I no longer dread nighttime insomnia."

For High Blood Pressure "It worked beautifully getting my blood pressure down quickly, however, it causes me insomnia. I’m very disappointed. I need my sleep to function."
