    Hi, I came off Bisoprolol after getting daily headaches for a whole year. I was on it for Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia. My GP put me on Propranolol saying that it would do the same job but is also given to people who suffer with migraines. Wish I'd known that from the start because it really did get rid of the daily headaches, just occasionally get a short lived one now. I seem to be managing fine on it despite the few side effects I've experienced such as weird/bad dreams. Everyone is different of course and won't necessarily experience the same side effects.

    The alternative for me was full blown Ventricular Tachycardia, for most of the day. I felt far better with VT than I did taking Bisoprolol.
