@windyshores hi
I was put on Bisoprolol at 2.5 and my rate dropped to 50 , which was quite low
So I cut my pill in half and it stayed at 60 but then all of a sudden one morning my Afib kicked in again . The problem with the meds is causing high anxiety , I’m sure there causing the problem
So I was told to go back to 2.5 , because 50 heart rate was ok, as long as it didn’t drop below that
I don’t feel comfortable with that , I have been on Coumadin for 20 years because of a couple clots , I’m not real sure about being on blood thinners either . I totally agree with you on the blood thinners

Bisoprolol side effects according to Google

Headache, Diarrhea, Dizziness, Nausea, Fatigue, Slow heart rate
Shortness of breath, Xerostomia, Arthralgia, Abnormal heart rhythm
Stuffy or runny nose, Anxiety, Blurred vision, Sexual problems
Cold hands or feet, Confusion, Cough, Depression, Heart failure, Rash
Sore throat, Sweating, Bronchospasm, Chest pain.

Listen to your body. Clean up your diet. Walk or light exercise daily. Stop caffeine and junk food and consuming lots of meat and dairy products. Google the side effects of Coumadin.

@lynlaughlin I am a lay person, long time heart issues. Strictly my opinion but I would sure get a second opinion on the recommendation that a "50 heart rate was ok, as long as it didn't drop below that"

Not a recommendation my husband or I have ever been given. Best wishes.
