    Hi Roy,Yup. just the same with me, Oh! and I seemed to 'age' too. Hands and feet Just looked Old ..I was given it for slightly high bp.Even started to tidy up a bit you know -so's not to leave too much of a mess for the kids to find.In case I Didn't Wake Up,IT WAS THAT BAD!Soon as I stopped taking it(after a couple of days anyway)I was back to normal.I did comment on this page at the time. Anyway Hope this helps and you find another Med.

    Hi Roy welcome to the  buddies yes I can relate to that I'm on 5mg of Bisropolol and I find that my legs feel very heavy especially on a morning when I walk I feel like I've done a marathon  lol. I also feel weired feelings in my arms too which feel heavy I'm sure you will get lots of other messages soon.

    I've got persistent A/F since 2010! I was put on biso and ramipril and aspirin. I thought that my heavy legs,lethargy was due to weight gain. I've posted on here before so I've quite a history of events appertaining to beta-blockers! 

    Im on atenolol,rampril and one of the new anti-coagulants! I'm still having trouble walking and feel wobby legs when standing. I can't get an answer from my GP or cardiologist. Maybe someone on here maybe can inform me! 

    Question..... Does AF cause weakness in legs and or lethargy?

                       Or is it beta-blockers cause weakness & lethargy?

                        Or is being overweight cause weakness & lethargy
