Bisoprolol Compared to Alternatives

For High Blood Pressure: Have been taking Bisoprolol 2.5mg for just over a month now. I’m extremely pleased with the way it’s lowered my blood pressure and pulse has reduced from 90-140 to 55-100. I did however, only after taking it for about 3 weeks, notice that I am getting an extremely dry mouth. Small price to pay though, I suppose.

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. Have been treated with a steroid cream which has had little effect. It is driving me crazy.

For High Blood Pressure: I have been treated for hight blood pressure (HBP) for 25 yr with diuretics. Over the last 10 years I have also been treated for moderate aortic stenosis. It wan’t until this past November after an exercise heart catherization that the cardiologist determined my BP was 20 points higher inside my heart. I was running 140/90 with an arm monitor. My cardiologist prescribed lisinipril 5 mg. I got a second opinion and this cardiologist increased the lisinipril to 10 mg and I was instructed to add 5 mg at night if my BP was over 140/90. I immediately started a dry cough especially night, have had troubles keeping, stomach problems and very very sore joints. I have an appointment with my new cardiologist coming up and am set to stop this medication. My BP is still all, over the place- one day 105/70 and the next 149/79! Done.

For High Blood Pressure: Very painful muscle and joint problems from this medication. Searing pain in elbows, wrists, knees, etc. Never had this before taking this medication. My husband is also on this pill and is experiencing some of the same problems.

For High Blood Pressure: I got the side effect of edema. Other than that it worked great.

For High Blood Pressure: I was given Amlodipine when my BP rose due to grief. I'm 68 year old female already taking Propranalol and Simvastatin. The Amlodipine did work and my BP is now normal but I have the feeling of being very ill, dying. I have stopped taking the Amlodipine for a couple of days twice and then returned to it. Both times when I wasn't taking it I felt better, stronger and more normal so I know it is the med making me feel this way.
