"I was put on metoprolol (12.5 mg twice per day) after my heart attack three years ago. However, my cardiologist said that metoprolol was contraindicated for patients with asthma, so he changed it to bisoprolol (2.5 mg once per day) because it was more cardio-selective than metoprolol. I immediately noticed a big improvement in my exercise tolerance and heart rate while on the treadmill. Hope this helps anyone who is on asthma medications and is having trouble while exercising on metoprolol."

"My history is bicuspid aortic valve replaced and grafted aortic root. Was on sotalol for 20 years (it was mostly an antiarrhythmic with some beta-blocking qualities)... but then they stopped making it. Cardiac doc switched me to bisoprolol 5mg daily. One year later: arrhythmia with a vengeance since going on this. Have also been taking magnesium citrate 150mg daily as per doc. Not liking the constant funny heartbeats and how tired I am in the afternoon. Going to see him soon to see if metoprolol might be a better alternative to this."

"Took it since 2013 after heart valve surgery - 6.25 mg. Later switched to a dose of 2.5 mg - started having a harder time tolerating low blood pressure. Did not feel any side effects, continued taking the medication even after the valve replacement in 2021. The medication is convenient - the dose can easily be adjusted for blood pressure, heart rate, and rhythm."

"Before using propranolol, quite sleepy. Now using 5 mg bisoprolol as requested by the cardiologist. Much better for me and basically lowers my heart rate to normal values."
