Changing my 5mg bisoporol dose times

a couple of months ago I developed atrial fibrillation. After all checks I was put on 5mg Bisoprolol fumarate every day. I took it in the evening. Well. When I went to bed, within an hour, my breathing became laboured, lungs rattling and a general feel of panic set in. This has been known to last for around 4/5hours.

After reading up on here and other sites I now take my BF in the afternoon. A revelation! Side effects minimal and I sleep like a log.

I know different people have different experiences. However, I just want to thank all who have contributed on the forum to enable me the confidence to adjust my dose timings.

Roll on when I'm sorted and off BP.

      I was looking forward to coming off Bisoporol after my Cardioversion which is scheduled for around July tome. However, Ive just spoken to my cardio nurse practitioner. In order to reduce the chances of my ticker relapsing into Atrial Fibrillation they want me to remain on BF indefinitely.

      I'm not the happiest bunny in the hutch. However, at least I'm the right side of the grass.

      When I took my BF at night every time I went for a walk around 4/5pm I kept getting a severe indigestion type pain in my upper stomach area. I am naturally a fast walker. It could be I was raising my heart beat when it should be fairly slow. Now I take my BF around teatime and when I go out for a walk I keep my pace to match my heartbeat. So far no pain. I hope you get on top of your BF feel better soon.
