Suspected brain damage after taking bisoprolol

This is truly an awful tale and the first I have heard about this sort of damage suspected of being done by Bisoprolol.  This will all depend on the progress you make and whether you are prepared to sue someone for this and of course, no one can advise you on whether this course of action would have any success.  The first thing is to get a proper neurologist report and you should continue to press for this- then, depending on this assessment, you could decide on whether to take things further.

Hi Steve, are you the fella who shares my Cardiologist at St Georges?

I can report that my breathlessness and low blood oxygen levels finally appear to have returned to normal after 13 months from my last taking Bisoprolol.

I too fear though that my Autonomic Nervous System failing to detect my blood oxygen levels when asleep have resulted in permanent brain damage. You will see from the oximeter chart below I spent a long period for a long time at 85% which some say can cause organ damage.

I describe the numb feeling to be like the injection you get at the dentist, but in the back of my neck rather than my gums, and sometimes it spreads as far forward as my eyes.

Dr Sohal wrote to my GP telling them to arrange an appointment with an Autonomic Neurologist, I had been telling my GP for the best part of a year that my ANS had been compromised, and of course they took no notice, but when they got the referral from Dr Sohal, they referred me to Queens where I was diagnosed with Autonomic Instability, just as I had been telling them all this time.

Trouble is, its now 5 months I have been waiting for an appointment for multiple ANS tests, and I feel myself getting worst and worst, to the extent I wonder how long I will be able to cope living on my own and will need care in the community?

 

Further to my last, another thing Bisoprolol did to my Autonomic Nervous System is to leave my stomach in fight/flight mode, I have had to give up eating breakfast and a midday meal as it completely exhausts me and makes me feel really ill, as if I have forced myself to eat when I didnt want to.

Its quite easy though as I have completely lost my sense of hunger, I went 42 hours without so much as a peanut a few months back, as an experiment, still didn't feel hungry.

At least I am getting to fit back in some of my tight clothes!
