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 developed an itchy rash with red weals on different parts of my body, and I itch constantly all over my skin where there are no visible marks. I have been treated with a steroid cream, which has had little effect. It is driving me crazy."

For High Blood Pressure "One day I had a problem with my breathing, so after medical intervention, I needed cardioversion, of which I was given bisoprolol. From the start of being on this, I have had major itching and now have muscle spasms in my neck, so as of now, I am not taking said drug. The worst moment was when I started taking this drug, my skin was so itchy that it made me feel like peeling my skin off my body - might be rare, but that is my view."

For Heart Failure "Severe joint pain, cramps, fatigue, neck pain. Skin itching and eye area. I was on 5 mg, cut in half to 2.5 mg and still had the pains. I have stopped this bisoprolol. After 24 hrs, skin itching has stopped after the 2nd day without this med. Heart rate up a little, will evaluate after 5 days."
