Im A 54 YEAR OLD BUILDER HAD AN MI ON JAN 15TH 2018,SENT FOR ANGIOGRAM AT JOHN RADCLIFF HOSPITAL IN OXFORD,ALL CORANY ARTERYS WERE ALL GOOD ,AS IVE NEVER SMOKED AND BEEN QUITE ACTIVE.
SO I THOUGHT I WOULD GO BACK TO WORK I A COUPLE OF WEEKS,THEN THEY PUT ME ON THE DREADED MEDS,AFTER JUST 2 DAYS,I COULDNT EVEN WALK MY DOG WITHOUT FEELING DIZZY,AND MY LEGS FELT LIKE LEAD WEIGHTS,I THIUGHT WOW ,MY HEART MUST HAVE TAKEN A BEATING BY THE MI,EVEN THOUGH I FELT GREAT LEAVING THE HOSPITAL.
AT MY 1 MONTH REVIEW AFTER ECHO,MY COSULTANT AGREED THAT ALL WAS WELL AND I COULD COME OFF RAMPIRIL AND THE STATIN OF 80MG.
THIS HELPED A LITTLE ,BUT STARTED WHAT I HAD FELT SINCE THE DEPARTURE FROM HOSPITAL,THAT THE DRUGS,AND I MY CASRE BISOPROLOL WAS MAKING THIS NORMALLY ACTIVE BUILDER WHO WENT FROM 18 HOLES ON THE GOLF COURSE TO A NON BREATHING ZOMBIE IN JUST 10 WEEKS,SO THIS IS DAY 4 WITHOUT BISOPROZOL AND IM SHAKY AND ANXIOUS AND MY HEART IS A BIT FLUTTERY,MY WIFE GAVE ME ONE OF MY VALIUMS THIS MORNING AND I MANAGED TO SETTLE AND GO OFF TO WORK,IM DETERMINED TO NOT GO BACK ON THIS ZOMBIE POISION,PLEASE EXCUSE ME IF THIS DRUG WORKS FOR YOU,I AM GETTING MY ENERGY BACK BUT THE WITHDRAWL IS TOUGHER THEN EVEN THIS HARDENED BUILDER EVER THOUGHT.
I WOULD BE GRATFUL OF ANY ADVICE GOING FORWARD,I REALIZE WHAT IM DOING IS NOT HOW NORMAL PEOPLE ON MEDS ACT,BUT I WOULD RATHER DO THIS THEN BE A BREATHLESS ZOMBIE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
SORRY IF IVE DRAINED ANYONE...

what are you on them for,if you dont mind saying?
mine was a heart attack,but im on day 6 now off of them and im still feeling signs of them in my body,but already my wife as noticed i have more energy and the foggy head is starting to clear out.
i do say everytime that im not qualified to comment on others,but for me,its been the best and bravest thing ive done,because ive had no help with it from my GP,he just kept saying,you will have these side effects,but i still maintain the drug maid me worse then the condition it was prescribed,so why would i want to go through life like that.
If i was 74 and not 54 years old and just had to go shopping and a bit of gardening/housework,it will still be tough on this drug,let alone go on a construction site.
I feel your pain my friend,what ever way you go with this,good health.

yes i took mine early morning around 6am,and sure enough by the afternoon,i was running on empty,try to get a review from your GP,and see if he could drop your dose down,im a bricklayer and i know im better off the drug,but i can only speak for myself,i wouldnt want to play God with your dose.
I did try taking it at night,but still the same result,so its not like i havent tried to help myself,i do feel im better now at day 6 without them,then ive been since i left the hospital,im now back to work,and getting stronger,the good news about having a heart attack is the positive stuff,ive changed to a lifestyle of an athlete,fish chicken and no rubbish takeaways,sounds boring ,but im happy to be alive,so when i hear someone on site moan,i just smile and say nothing to them,but inside im smiling not smuggly at them,im just smiling because everyday is a good day.
Good health my friend,and i hope things get better.
