Posted , 12 users are following.
So ive been on this medication for 3 months now. 2.5-6.25 dose for high blood pressure. In 29 and is it just me or does anyone else feel tired all the time. Have leg cramps ( which have recently just appeared) and my hands and feet feel cold a lot!! I feel like I'm just being paranoid because I read the side effects but jeez its starting to get to me. Its helped my bp a lot but thats proberly because all i wanna do is sleep.. Ive read that just coming off them can be awful too. Ugh help. Anyone else know what I'm going threw? Its my first time on any bp meds and was told to go for a check up after a month but the earliest appointment i coukd get was July. 😞

It appears to be horrible medications. I have been reading the various posts.
My main suffering was tiredness, Insomnia, nervousness and adrenaline rush, mainly at night.
Like Peter mentioned my insomnia is at the point that it affected my work and I was moved roles. Luckily I have a wonderful workplace that adjusts for me though. But disappointing after working towards my position for 10 years.
Unfortunately Cardiologist says it is best for my heart and is working. Its not working for me some days!
All the best

Don't be paranoid, legally that cannot keep that kind of information from you if they are treating some sort of heart complaint. They must disclose. Ask to read your file if you have any doubt. I haven't as I am scared too lol... I tend to be a worrier

Hi There,
I don't mind sharing I am on Bisoprolol after a heart attack just over 12 months ago. I have muscle damage due to not knowing I had a heart attack because my symptoms were quite mild. I am young only 40 YO

Don't know if you agree but there isn't much aftercare for heart patients once rehabilitation is over once a year get bloods, weight and blood pressure checked with the nurse that's it. I had an appointment with a cardiologist about 2 Months after the op and all he kept saying was why did you start smoking in the first place wasn't interested in how I was feeling, I felt I was wasting his time and felt like that ever since made to feel guilty about being a smoker!!!

It's not easy at all..
It was easy for me as I went into hospital so it was ok DONE~
It didn't take long to wonder why I actually smoked anyway. Now it smells strong, and its a turn off... I still have the odd occasional craving.

Hi jade, not any more stopped 8 yrs ago, 2 yrs later had the bypass apparently I had had a heart attack years before as there was a lot of damage. Don't whats best anymore, some times I feel like just flushing the meds down the toilet, it is just so annoying when nobody will listen to you.

I feel the same after just 3 months. I can't imagine how U feel after this long. I almost want to cut the dose myself or stop but I heard that can be rather dangerous. Only problem is I know there going to tell me they put me on the best meds for me. Today I'm doing really bad. Keep feeling dizzy. So so tired even after 9 hours sleep. And my legs just ache so bad ill move around for a bit and then there start tingling and ache. Ugh. I know im moaning on sorry lol

I am so pleased that you are having a better day. I never understood what people meant by that until now, what a "Just having a bad day" meant and how.
Now I completely understand.
I am so pleased this group can offer some help. I am so happy I found the group also just to know that other people are going through similar issues aswell.
Have a good weekend.
