| 1 | chf, hi blood pressure | blurred vision, hearing loss, ringing in ears sometimes tickle in throat, numbness and tingeling in hands and gets very bad, muscles in legs hurt have a hard time walking, knees hurt, get a strange sensation in back of thighs and start to breath heavy and legs hurt also get a strange sensation going down the middle of my chest sometimes all over body and the heels of my feet hurt especially when i'm sleeping, and acid reflux which i believe was due to taking HBP pills for 25 years (at least 18 different pills) over the years. and of course the doctor doesn't believe you have to take all kind of test to prove him wrong. and keep everybody in business. | F | 67 | 5 months 2.5 1X D | 6/19/2011 | 2 | HBP, PVC's | Started at 5.0 mg, then dropped to 2.5 mg. Very Slow HR, very tired, more PVC's (when exercising), low sex drive. Lowered my BP too much (90/60) from 150/90. | My cardiologist change my RX. to Diovan 80/12.5mg, dropped the ZEBETA after 6 months. Went for a sleep apnea study, was RX. a CPAP machine. With the CPAP I'm sleeping much better and no more PVC's. My BP is at the 115/75 range most of the time. | M | 55 | 6 months | 10/31/2006 | 3 | CHF, Uncontrolled A-Fib | Dizziness, Swollen Tongue & Throat, Difficulty Breathing, Low Blood Pressure, Numbness In Face, Fatigue | POSITIVE: Lowered heart rate and got me out of CHF within hours. NEGATIVE: Very low BP (60/40's); Dizziness; Fatigue; Allergic Reaction; I wish I was able to take this because it is the only drug that has worked in bringing down my high heart rate and took me out of CHF within just a few hours. Amazing! After stopping Zebeta, my rate went back up over 100 (resting) within 24 hours. I really think if I could have stayed on this, it would have converted me out of A-fib into NSR. If you can tolerate the side effects, it may just be the drug for you. Really keep an eye on your blood pressure to make sure it doesn't go too low. | F | 50 | 1 days 5 mg 1X D | 3/23/2011 | 3 | Tachycardia | Cold hands, dizziness, stomach problems | M | 10 years | 4/12/2007 | 3 | HBP, PVC's | Started at 10mg, too strong BP from 150/100 to 90/60 (HR 44) very dizzy, and fatigue. Dopped to 5mg, felt dizzy. Now taking 2.5 mg daily. Feel better, still tired. BP 117/78,HR 60. | Zebeta has controlled my PVC's in about 50%. I also take Diovan 80 mg (5 years in a row). | M | 50 | 2 days | 5/7/2005 | 4 | hypertension, PVCs | I am taking 10MG of lisinopril but my BP went up recently (stress) so Dr. added this. I jog 2 miles a day, my resting HR is usually 62, this drug is lowering my resting HR but it is stopping my PVCs (which were increasing) and has brought my BP back to 110/70; I will cut it in half for the next few days, see if the BP results remain good but the HR goes up a little. I hate those PVCs and I can't take more than 10MG Lisinopril because it causes constipation. | F | 63 | 2 days 5MG 1X D | 3/10/2010 | 4 | high blood pressure | my hands go to sleep easily, especially at night when I'm sleeping. If I use the computer mouse much, my right hand goes to sleep. I also become cold more easier...used to be pretty hot-natured. | started taking half of a 5 mg pill...didn't lower BP enough so now I take a whole pill. Seems to work fine now. | M | 44 | 1 years | 4/28/2009 | 4 | Tachycardia | Frequent trips to bathroom. Nothing else yet... | I've been taking Monocor (Bisoprolo) for about 2 months. Currently taking 2.5mg daily and it gently calms my heart and blood pressure wich were off the charts. | M | 28 | 2 months | 2/21/2006 | 4 | HBP | If take > than 2.5mg = very slow HR, tiredness, low sex drive. | It will definetly lower your BP | M | 50 | 6 days | 10/25/2005 | 5 | high blood pressure - angina | This medication works very well.. I recommend it to anyone with angina... | F | 60 | 345 days 5.25 1X D | 5/12/2012 | 5 | hypertension, arhythmias | sometimes heartbeat very slow (less than 50 bpm) | works better for me than metoprolol and propranolol with less/no CNS side effects | M | 28 | 5 years 2,5 1X D | 12/26/2010 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | Zebeta is a very good drug in controlling heart rate and blood pressure.... one day dosing and it last 24 hours... I would ask your doctor about zebeta because it's not a very widely used drug but it's a good one.... | Works very well in controlling heart rate.... even at low doses... | M | 6 months | 10/16/2005 | 5 | Palpitations/now high bp | None really except initially due to being put on 20 mg! Went down to 2.5 and now back up to 10mg due to high BP | I think it's a wonderful drug as it has vey little side effects. In light of my high BP which is new for me, my dr. sees no reason to change due to the minimal side effects. The feedback I've gotten from MOST Drs/hospitals is that they have NEVER even heard of it! INCLUDING Cardioligists. Not sure why that is, but it's a shame. Get out there and ASK for it! *S* Could be VERY helpful to you. Additionally, it CAN mask high blood sugar so you should avoid taking it when testing for these types of things. I'm not sure if that's true for all beta-blockers. just a thought... | F | 42 | 8 years | 8/24/2005 | 5 | hypertension, arrhthymia | Can't really tell. It's the best beta blocker I've ever been on. | Doc says it's more cardio-specific, and doesn't make my legs feel heavy like older betas did. It works well for me, for prob. over 7 yrs. I also have rheum arthritis and connective tissue disease. Other older betas worsened my RA/conn. tiss. disease. | F | 54 | 7 days | 11/8/2004 |
