For Supraventricular Tachycardia "I am fed up with this drug. I was prescribed it at 2.5 mg in April 2023 after an episode of SVT that resulted in hospitalization. I have suffered so many side effects - tired, dizzy, headaches, and body aches, particularly nasty left leg pains and stiffness. As a consequence, my dose has been reduced to 1.75 mg. But I am still suffering side effects - tiredness and now very itchy skin. I have had a few incidents of arrhythmia and high heartbeats since taking it at the lower dose too."

For High Blood Pressure "I have been placed on bisoprolol 2.5 mg due to panic attacks and HBP. I have been on it for 3 weeks, it did a good job lowering my irregular heart rate, and the blood pressure has been a bit down, but I noticed recently that my BP is getting back to 130/80. I need to see my cardiologist to see if I should increase to 5 mg. I feel dizzy, and sometimes I can't concentrate fully."

"After many times and lots of investigation at A and E, I was put on bisoprolol. I’ve been on it for 3 years, I take 2.5 ml. It’s stopped my ectopic beats, but I still get them occasionally. I suffer terribly from a buzzing head, feeling dizzy, tiredness, and a low pulse. I don’t like how I feel on this med, but I have not been offered any alternative."

"Started taking 5 mg of Bisoprolol for AF, which has returned after 18 months of me being free from the condition after DC cardioversion, but woke up the following morning with a dead left foot due to bad circulation! I have dizzy spells when getting up, and worse of all, shortness of breath when doing very little (I've played squash all my life, and even with AF, I never had this problem). I'm now going to half the dosage to see if things improve."

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."
