If you take Bisoprolol what time of day do you take it out of interest? I am on 2.5 and have always taken it first thing in the morning before breakfast but I was getting so sleepy, my heart rate was going down to 48, I couldn't function very well if at all some days, I have today taken it after lunch to see if after a morning on the go (for a change not feeling sleepy) it would make any difference.

thanks Jane, I'm starting to learn that many people do take it at night.

Yes, I take it as soon as I get up. Within a half hour I am drinking my morning Smoothie, after a good amount of water and half a coffee. Most days I end up feeling like laying on the couch within an hour or two. Saw a post from someone who suggested doing it at night but would want to consult Doctor before I did that.

I think quite a few people take it at night but what concerns me is your pulse drops naturally when you sleep doesn't it? so taking a tablet to bring your rate down,couldn't that bring it down even more? The GP I had 5 years ago said I could take it at night but I didn't ask the question about drop in pulse, my pulse was 48 last night and once during the night it was 46 and quite scary, I stayed awake all night frightened I wouldn't wake up if I slept, I was doing exercises at 3am trying to raise my pulse, I have a docs appt tomorrow to ask if the dosage can be reduced.

Well my GP has agreed to give me a prescription for reduced dosage 1.25mg for a month to see how I get on, but I must keep a close eye on my heart rate and BP so we will just have to see how it goes. fingers crossed.
