"I'm about to start off on 1.25mg of bisoprolol, will add more and change rating once it has commenced, taking to hopefully reduce the tachycardia that comes with being upright or Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome "

For High Blood Pressure "Heart rate drops to 55 to 60 per minute and does not go up beyond 70-75 even with exercise. Recovery to low heart beat rate very fast after exercise. Feel quite tired often. Dosage 2.5 mg bd. And Losartan 50mg bd. Is this dosage too much?"

For Heart Failure "I was first on metoprolol 25mg succinate for POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and it worked well but made me gain 14 pounds in about 2 months, despite eating healthy and exercising. Bisoprolol 5mg furmate is what I was switched to, I take 1/4 every 6 hours and it works well, I do think it contributes to my shortness of breath but it’s manageable & not everyday. I haven’t noticed weight gain I’ve lost 4 pounds while on it so that’s good. Overall I’m happy with it, I just hope I can stay at this dose and it still be effective for me as time goes on."

For Angina Pectoris Prophylaxis "At 2.5mg daily dose, experienced fatigue initially, this either dissipated or became the New Normal so I don't recognize it any longer. Effective for decreasing frequency of tachycardia; beta-blocker reduce re-occurrence of heart attack statistically, and so far has for me, for 4 years. The "vivid dreams" are a major factor to poor sleep for me: always very unpleasant, if not nightmares."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "After what I believe may have been a heart attack. Five major chest blows. Two months of bed rest. I went to internal medicine doctor was put on Bisoprolol 5mg and started losing fluid. I lost the 60 pounds of fluid I gained. I was finally able to urinate a decent amount . I'm now seven years on it and I believe its losing its effect. Water weight is back but also believe getting the flu contributed to the set back. I don't know where to go from here."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "I have been on bis for six months now. At the beginning I felt better and no side effects. However, gradually I noticed that I am losing more hair. Looking up online , it says beta blocker would be toxic to hair follicles and cause hair thinning . Too worried, I decide to start weaning it off."

For Heart Failure "Been on 3.75mg for two years. Recently I am feeling very very lightheaded and have had to lie down all day. I will try decreasing the dosage to 2.5 mg now to see if it helps my blood pressure and make my heartbeat normal."

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."

"I’ve been on this medicine for Sinus tachycardia for a little while now. I definitely feel a difference compared to other medications I have used in the past. Ever since I have been on it I have had very few side effects and the medication lasts all day. Definitely works!"
