For High Blood Pressure "On bisoprolol at a dose of 2.5 mg and have side effect symptoms of extreme fatigue and 6 lb weight gain, 3 months. I have no anxiety and my blood pressure is great. Used to work out daily, now maybe once a week. I don’t like the lethargic feeling."

For High Blood Pressure "Have been taking Bisoprolol 2.5 mg for about a year. Blood pressure reduced - good. Tiredness and fatigue - not so good. Erectile dysfunction - awful. Maybe I should stop taking Bisoprolol and live life to the full, although, unfortunately, maybe not a good idea. So, to this end, it is effective for the treatment needed."

For Supraventricular Tachycardia "Previously, I was on amiodarone for a decade. Last month, I underwent a 3D mapping ablation and was switched to bisoprolol 2.5 mg. After a couple of days, I started having issues: higher production of mucus, which led to severe lung congestion, fatigue was also high, itching of the skin, which led to rashes, and nausea. I never had this kind of side effects with amiodarone, metoprolol, sotalol, or any other medicines."

For High Blood Pressure "Brought my blood pressure down from 170/110 to normal levels fairly quickly (under a week). However, started to notice side effects, particularly fatigue, shortness of breath, weight gain, and some loss of libido. Tried a 1/2 dosage for a week or so, and symptoms dropped a little, but not enough for my liking. Also, the blood pressure started to creep up with just a 1/2 dose. Although the drug was effective, I will probably seek an alternative med for my blood pressure."

Bisoprolol for High Blood Pressure "After 7 years of taking this medicine, it still works to reduce my blood pressure. If I go without it for 3 days or more, my heart gets sluggish, painful, and works too hard, even if I am just sitting or laying down. It relieves most of the pain and the terrible headache."

For Heart Failure "At first, I was thrilled with the pills: they calmed the pulse, reduced fatigue, and I felt great. However, after two years of use, I realized that I was gaining weight, that I did not have the will to train, that I was actually getting tired very quickly without my heart rate exceeding 60 beats. I gradually stopped taking the pills and only then realized how sleepy and slow I was. I do not recommend this medicine to anyone, there may be better ones."

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."

For High Blood Pressure "It helped to bring down my blood pressure, but the side effects I had were horrible. I had tingling, headaches, and weakness. I couldn't work for being so tired. Also, I started having involuntary muscle spasms. It had my blood sugar running low a lot."

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