Nebivolol "I've been suffering with paralyzingly severe PVCs and angina around the clock for over a year now. (My diagnosis is Severe bi-geminal PVCs with mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation). Couldn't sleep or sit down to rest because it made the symptoms worse. I've been on atenolol and high doses of metoprolol with no success. I was afraid the next step would be cardiac ablation, but my doctor started me on 10 mg of Bystolic and within the first day I feel like a different person! No side effects, good energy level and it helped a lot with me not feeling the PVCs, angina, and fluttering so much. I have a feeling I'll be going up to 20 mg because after 9 hours I can start to feel the PVCs beginning again, but this med works great for me so far. Even a little relief from those terrible arrhythmias is a welcome. Everyone is different, so hang in there and don't be afraid to have your doctor try you on different meds. Good luck everyone, I know the depression that can come from heart-related problems. Find some comfort in knowing we're in this together, you're not alone."

Nebivolol "I have mitral valve prolapse, female, 42. I started Bystolic, 5 mg, a couple of weeks ago, no palpitations, no dizziness, no headaches, no fatigue. My sleep is off a bit, but other than that, I feel great."

Nebivolol "41 yr old Caucasian female. 115 lbs/5'. No negative medical history other than mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation. Horrid chest pains and no energy. I can't recall the 1st drug - caused numbness in hands and feet - tingling and cold feelings were horrible. Also caused extreme tiredness; mixed with the fatigue from the regurgitation made me a rag doll. BYSTOLIC CHANGED MY LIFE. Started me at 10 mg - lasted 10 months; now on 20 mg for the last 5 months. Pain creeps in faster as I am sure the valve isn't getting any 'better'. Time will bring about the need to change it, and my doctor is waiting for Cleveland Clinic to open up new non-intrusive surgeries to patients who do not have life-threatening MVP issues. Side effects are minimal, and I HAVE MY LIFE BACK."

"I've been taking this for a few years now, and it completely changed my life. I have MVP and was having a crazy amount of PVCs and felt like crap all the time. No energy, tired all the time, anxious for no reason. Once the PVCs were discovered and I started a beta blocker, I felt a lot better, but then I started getting migraines. After that, my doctor switched me to nebivolol, and I felt like a new person. I have energy now, I don't feel sick all the time, and I'm just generally able to enjoy life a lot more. I haven't had any side effects from taking it."

Nebivolol "I have been on Bystolic 5 mg for 1 month. I have mitral valve prolapse. I have a really rapid heart rate at times. I had been on Lanoxin and verapamil for years. All at once, my heart rate was very rapid, and my blood pressure rose. I was feeling so nervous. They took me off the medicines I was on and put me on the Bystolic. Within a couple of days, my heart rate slowed down, and my blood pressure was normal. I feel great again at age 70. The only thing I have noticed is I do have diarrhea once in a while. This has gotten better after a couple of weeks of taking this medicine. It is working for me so far!"

Nebivolol "This medication works great for my high blood pressure (when I first started Bystolic, it brought both numbers down tremendously) and a small leak (Mitral Valve Prolapse). The flutters in my chest weren't as frequent as they used to be."

Nebivolol "45 y.o. Female taking Bystolic 5 mg over 2 years. I love this medicine. It eliminated heart palpitations that were very annoying. No weight gain or loss. No side effects. I rated it a 9 because it is somewhat pricey ($68 monthly with insurance)."

"I have mild Mitral Valve Prolapse, but my resting heart rate is low, 45 bpm to 50 bpm. My Dr. suggests 1.25 one time a day with duloxetine because I have panic attacks and anxiety. Do you think I can take this with my low heart rate?"

"Been taking this for 2 years now, 5 mg, for my MVP and high blood pressure caused by stress and anxiety. I still have anxiety problems from time to time, but my usual blood pressure has dropped from 165/100 to 135/75. Wanted to lower it even more, but cannot seem to do it, with my all-worrying nature. Tachycardia is also gone. I have no troubles sleeping like I had before, no major problems. The only negative side effect that I seem to feel is falling low on energy on some days. So if you are operating heavy machinery or are an avid athlete, I wouldn't recommend it. Otherwise I would, it helped me a lot."
