Hi. I`ve been taking Bisoprolol 5mg for angina for 6wks now. Devastated at angina news as eat healthily, dont smoke or drink and not overweight. No significant difference since on this drug. Had ;been on Half Inderal LA 80mg for years cos palpitations/anxiety and now been changed to bisoprolol. I`m 63yrs. Anyone any ideas other than other drugs too? Cardiologist suggested amlodopine as well but heard dire side effects of this

    As you can tell from the posters here the bisop tends to dull your body and mind whilst it is supposedly helping to reduce blood pressure and reduce pulse rate.
