Hi
Easy!
Cardiologist changed me immediately with Bisoprlol.
Stopped breathlessness, unable to exert myself, H/R 186 and pauses at night with my normal 47avge H/R.
Now Bisoprolol on reduced 2.5 then 1.25 , BP low. Last month iver easing it down stopped altogether.

I take 8am 120mg CD Diltiazem for H/R control Day. It is a CCB Calium Channel Blocker. This med also acts as an abti-arrhymic med. H/R always under 100 at rest.

Hi
To myself.
Changed from Metoprolol to Bisoprolol immediately. Changing to something else keeps you covered.

Metopolol 186 H/R bpm DAY breathless/ couldn't exert myself, lie down and sleep/ pauses at night.
Bisoprolol 156 H/R bpm Day no breathless/ could exert. sleeping less.

After Feb 21 - Dec 21 struggled still without control H/R day.
Dec 21 went private and put on CCB Diltiazem. Great in control.

Dec 24 dropped the 2.5 altogether for control BP it went LOW.

Now happy on CCB Diltiazem 120 CD AM with both H/R and BP controlled.

Happier Days.
