bystolic vs other beta blockers

Bystolic is the newest beta blocker available in the U.S. LIke other beta blockers, the most common adverse events with Bystolic are headache, fatigue and dizziness. However, the manufacturer states studies have shown that Bystolic was well tolerated, with a low incidence of traditional beta blocker side effects.

I know that you have a nursing background but there are some hypertension specialists forum that mention that bystolic has been around in europe for a while and it is a good choice for those who cannot tolerate beta blockers. Blockers are not first choice treatment for hypertension but bystolic is okay, so a bit puzzled with your comment. And as you may know some people find a substantial decrease in panic and anxiety attacks when their hypertension is brought under control.

With the diagnosis of secondary vasodepressor neurocardiogenic syncope. My Doctor said I need to take Beta blockers to avoid having another neurocardiogenic syncope or vasovagal syndrome. I have already had a MRI with contrast to rule out Brain problem, ENT cleared me of Veritgo, the Echo was clear aslo. I have tired Metroprolol made me foggy and completely tired. Bystolic was the same problem within 10 days. Carvodilol made me dizzy and after 10 days I got hives.

Bisoprolol (Emconcor as it's named in Norway) is quite strong (measured in mg's vs other beta blockers) I would guess 1,25 mg equals 25 mg of Toprol. I tried (today) 5 mg of propranolol (inderal) and it seems to work OK. My blood pressure is normal/low (110-120/70) and I know normal dose of beta blockers would make my blood pressure too low. You and your doctor should try to find the lowest effective dose.

3.14.010 : Info found out on rxlist - bystolic causeing in most paitents - Edema ! acute renal failure - hyperstensitivity - vrticaria - allergie vascultis - angio Edema it is also listed as " do not mix this medication with any other beta blockers" or cal channel blockers " such as verapamil listed in big block letters ! last night I suffered threw the worse ever side effects !

Can it be possible that now that I have a more lower heart rate I am more aware of the PVC’s? Is it possible that when you are taking beta blockers you still can feel the PVC’s?

beta blockers are safer to use than any other heart drug, but still have side effects like tiredness, dizziness and more serious ones if you have other heart problems, ive taken 80 mg of propanolol a day and they were fine except i felt a little bit tired towards bedtime. i had them for constant anxiety so my heart rate and bp was up all the time.

I was diagnosed 3 years ago with PSVT 10,000 extra a day, felt a lot of them and drove me nutso. I felt it was from heavy exercise over the previous year or chemical fumes I would breathe on occasion. Dr. wanted to do an ablation, I refused and thought let my heart mend since I had no structural issues, all electrical. I put my feet up and relaxed.

On the plus side, this beta-blocker seems to provide the best heart rate control and did not cause me sleep problems, nightmares, cold hands and feet etc..(like older beta blockers) I believe BISOPROLOL (ZEBETA)though an older beta blocker, is currently the better beta blocker, but it does not provide the greatest heart rate control.

Hi, I just wanted to know if other people have taken this Beta Blocker called Bystolic. It seems that I have been having difficulties with it... or may be the symptoms I have are common to all Beta Blockers? I take 2.5 mg 2 times a day... My face is flushed, actually feels like it might blow up. I feel weak, tired, and suffer with sleep disturbances, and extreme nausea, lost 18 pounds in a month.

s come from their beta-1 selectivity, and most of the side effects are due to the beta-2 selectivity. Bystolic is the most highly beta-1 specific BB, at daily doses of 5 mg and less. After I switched to Bystolic, within 2 weeks the symptoms you describe went away and I have regained a considerable amount of my aerobic capacity. I'm also not tired all the time any more. It's worth asking.

My main question is how low can your heart rate get and still be safe? I'm afraid to take a beta block for my hypertension because my hr at night gets as low as 55 without them. I'm 24 years old I have hypertension, I'm active/normal weight I also have LVH from my hypertension. Would it be safe for me to take this beta blocker bystolic My doctor has prescribed me? He said it wouldn't lower it much but from the posts I've seen they do. Thoughts?

My urine output is definitely decreased. and feel I am still very hypothyroid. Dr. ordered Bystolic a Beta- Blocker for high blood pressure. I have read that Beta Blockers are not good because if hypo. low heart beat already causes problems with kidney filtration and that is what causes the high blood pressure in hypothyroidism. and beta blockers lower heart rate and can cause more problems, as in myxedema. and diuretics cause problems with the kidneys .

I found out that it is the beta blocker most pulmonary doctors recommend it their patients need beta blockers... However there is no generic for Bystolic and it is more expensive... I sure do like it better than the Metorpolol though... its worth the extra cost..

Along with that, it has the same side effects as all the other beta blockers. If you have benign palpitations I would stay away. I was switched to bystolic, which has worked well for me where toprol and atenolol didn't.

s pounding, and is a side effect of the beta blockers. i started off on metoprolol, but am now on bystolic, which has a lot less nasty side effects for me.

t seem to do it as consistently, but if my heart rate gets really slow or if I increase the dose of bystolic (try to take 10mg vs 5), they start back up again. The only thing I can figure is when your heart rate slows it makes it more likely to get ectopic beats. It's been happening to me for 8 years now and I'm still here. So try not to focus too much on the skips, the more you do, the worse they get.

So he just prescriped me Digoxin - which he said he normally does not give to his patients with POTS and/or IST, but since I cant use beta blockers or calcium channel blockers, he wanted to give the Digoxin a try.... Anyways has anyone tried Digoxin and if so what were your experiences?

I believe that it is the beta blocker that causes the pain and am now wondering if all beta blockers would cause it. Has anyone else had leg pain on the atenolol or bystolic? Also, can anyone else tell me of any other type of medicine that helped to lower heart rate other that a beta blocker?

I have had every test going and no organic cause has been found..I was put on Beta-blockers that made me feel like death..My cardiologist then put me on Flecainide 300mgs daily..The VE initially stopped which was great...For the last six months the VEs have come back with a vengeance and I feel crap most of the time...Have been admitted to ED several times but all tests come back normal and no-one seems to know whats going on...Have been told I have to learn to live with it!!!!!!

I agree, BYSTOLIC appears to control and relax the heart rate like no other beta blocker I was ever prescribed. My experience during the past couple of months with BYSTOLIC (5 mg) are excellent heart rate control, no gastro issues, anti anxiety effect and good sleep. The negative effects have been knee pain, stiff and heavy legs, especially when using stairs, low libido (loss of morning erections), and fatigue.

I would like to find something that could be taken as needed to alleviate irregularities and does not lower heart rate as much as most beta blockers.

just wondering if anyone who has taken beta blockers has ever noticed an increased awareness of their heartbeat? it seems that i've been able to feel mine pretty much all the time since i started betas about three months ago. is this normal? does it go away?
