| 5 | Hypertension, IST | Slight dizziness for a week or so, none after that. | Took by BP from a high of 160/110 to averaging 110/70 with HR in the mid sixties to upper seventies. | M | 52 | 2 years 5 MG 1X day | 6/7/2013 | 1 | Hypertension /high blood pressure | Shortness of breath, numbness in hands and feet, tired all the time, low heart rate, legs feel very heavy and hurts and major headaches.....this is not good it made me feel horrible!!! | F | 45 | 8 days 10 | 5/31/2013 | 4 | Hypertension | started out on 10 mg, horrible side effects, chest pains, some shortness of breath, extremely tired-took 10 mg for 3 days-dr then reduced disage to 2.5. So far after 4 days, feel great-but still some tiredness and now diarrhea and leg swelling. Also feet cramps. But BP is great and I can live with these side effects (for a while) unless they get worse. | F | 71 | 7 days 2.5 1X day | 5/7/2013 | 2 | PVC's | Major anxiety. I have never had anxiety before. Can't sleep weird dreams and heart rate dropped from 80 to 57. Going to try 2.5 as it did stop PVC. Blood pressure no better it was close to normal anyway. | F | 56 | 1 months 5mg 1X day | 5/6/2013 | 4 | Vasovegal Syncope (near fainting) | Increased sensitivity to cold in the hands and feet. | I have had vasovegal syncope (sudden drops in BP in response to small amounts of adrenaline) since my late teens (with near-fainting but never fainting). It went undiagnosed and untreated for 20 years. Had great success with treatment with atenolol but lost effectiveness with time and increased dose caused ocular migraines. Bystolic is doing a great job in restoring energy and reducing episodes that cause nausea and extreme fatigue over 2 to 3 days. | F | 55 | 6 months 2.5 mg 1X day | 4/13/2013 | 1 | For racing heart | Started with depression and ringing in ears. Then went to mood swings with a sudden outburst in public. I have been taken off thank God. I'm back on metropolol | F | 64 | 1 months 10 mg | 4/4/2013 | 1 | BP-Palpataion Post Cardiac Ablation | M | 63 | 5 months 10 1X day | 3/26/2013 | 3 | High heart rate and HP | I gained 10 pounds, deep deep muscle pain in back, joint pain, weird dreams, swelling in legs and fingers. My eyes dont focus as well with distance as they use too. Also I get vertigo sometimes which is new since starting the poison. Sometimes I get a tingle feeling in my finger tips.. I never had any symptoms like this prior to taking Bystolic. I know that I am a white jacket high BP person and the minute I walk into a doctors office my bp goes up. My Doctor said I would never ever be able to stop taking this medication. HELP there has to be something else out there. I hate taking this medication and fear I should not stop cold turkey. My refill for another 6 months is coming up in a few weeks. I want off of this medication and I want my life back. Does anyone have ideas for a bb that works as well? | F | 50 | 1 days 5mg 1X day | 3/13/2013 | 1 | hypertension | palpitations, dizziness, sinus oroblems, lethargy, gas | M | 38 | 6 months 5mg | 3/4/2013 | 1 | High blood pressure | It lowered the BP! I am allergic to ALL other beta blockers, as well as many other drugs. I am a RENAL FAILURE patient, stage 4, prepping for dialysis soon. This drug should NOT have been given to me, it caused a decline almost immediate in my renal function. I also have CHF, diabetic on insulin, asthma, Edema and have had anaphylaxis in hosp from meds. Also have the ringing in ears, swollen throat. Everything i read, says i should NOT have been given this. Yet the cardiologist gave to me, says take more asthma inhaler. ! i had a major attack this morning, my peak flow meter for asthma was at 125 breathing. i should be at 350. ! I began the taper this morning to 5mg, perhaps the asthma attack from this. i also am very shaky. Blood sugars are whacky and showing low then i eat and the insulin doesnt work and i shoot up too high. Now i have a bad headache, cant drive out becuz too shaky and the asthma is bad. Ive had to be hospitalized for asthma issues in the past, this is as bad as one | I have written to many diff places regarding this drug as i intend to continue to do so. I feel the dr s who prescribe this drug should have his license removed ! without checking renal function in a kidney patient, prescribes med that will LOWER function. This dr was not a good dr! I can get better drugs off the street. | F | 59 | 4 months 10mg 1X day | 2/8/2013 | 5 | Chronic hypertension | No side effects. | BP was regularly in the 150/100+ range before; now in the 120/70 range. Apparently this medicine is not for everyone, but it has really helped me. | M | 51 | 1 years 10 1X day | 2/1/2013 | 1 | Hypertension | difficulty breathing | I tried this drug once before about a year ago and apparantly forgot why I stopped taking it - for certain, it is causing the symptoms I am experiencing after being back on it for just two days, as they are exactly the same as before, only worse. I have episodes of difficulty breathing - not lung difficulty - but the feeling that something is actually squeezing my heart, preventing me to breath. I do the treadmill elevated for an hour a day, do hand weights, swim, and am active in other sports, so when I get short of breath climbing one flight of stairs, it is the medicine - just last week I went up three flights at the mall to the amazement of my friend who is younger than me. I have constant thirst, ringing in my ears, and upon waking up, was very dizzy for the first 2 hours of the day. Bystolic did lower my bp, and I could put up with all but the actual feeling of not being able to breath - I truly feel like my heart is in a vise at times. Definitely not worth it - I hate this drug and will lose weight and go back on my weight watchers diet rather than struggle for breath. I can't believe I tried it twice - what's the saying fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I am disposing of it today and stopping it abruptly even though it says otherwise, my primary care doc said it would be ok to do so. | F | 59 | 2 days 5 MG 1X day | 1/25/2013 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | Severe migraine behind my eyes and achy sore body & severe back pain. | I took this pill for the first time to help my BP of 140/100. I took it at night so I wouldn't feel or notice any side effects. I woke up up with a migraine (feels like I got hit with a bat on the back of my neck) at 5am and 12 hours later, my head and body are sore and I'm only able to move like a 90 year old (but I'm still young). I never get headaches, my eyes never hurt like this and this is the 4th prescription I try. Keep in mind I normally feel great and sleep fine. I exercise & eat right but high BP runs in the genes. There is no way, no how I would take this again just to feel like crap. Pharmaceutical companies are just putting out junk. Don't take this stuff if it makes you feel worse. | F | 1 days 5 1X day | 12/29/2012 | 5 | HIGH BP | None that I have noticed | M | 47 | 1 years 20mg 1X day | 12/20/2012 | 1 | hypertension | severe double vision (binocular diplopia); mild pressure headache; | On day 25 of taking Bystolic 10 MG, I experienced a terrifying onset of double vision, also known as binocular diplopia, that lasted 20-30 minutes after which time it slowly disappeared yet forced me to go the ER. Blood tests, a CT scan and Xray did not show any physical causes. Until that time the only side effect was a mild pressure headache above the eyes. I've discontinued the medication and am consuming fruits and vegetables, including juices, that are high in potassium that seem to keep the blood pressure at acceptable levels; I'm also focusing on weight loss (minimizing desserts) and more walking exercise which worked well in the past. From a causal standpoint, it may very well be that if the medication relaxes the heart muscle, it probably works systemically such that it affects the eye muscles as well. It's not worth risking potentially persistent and permanent eye damage. I've subsequently undergone thorough eye exams by an optometrist and ophthalmologist, days after the incident, both of whom could find no underlying physical cause for the double vision. Additional examination by a neurologist is planned as well. | M | 65 | 25 days 10 MG 1X day | 12/19/2012 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | severe hip and leg pain on right side, both knees have pain so bad I can hardly walk, shortness of breath, tired, kidney infections, arms sore, sleepless nights, lower spine pain, vaginal bleeding really bad. | I've been on Bystolic for 13 mo. and and it has ruined my life for a whole year. Started out making me bleed so bad I couldn't leave my home. Pain in my right hip, leg and knees so bad I could hardly get around my home. I thought I was going to die so many times and finally figured out it's the Bystolic. Changing Dr.s because mine won't listen to me. I've been off for 48 hours now and can't wait to get my life back. This drug is a killer! | F | 55 | 13 months 10 mg. 2X day | 12/17/2012 | 5 | High blood pressure, tachycardia | diarrhea, occasionally hard time getting to sleep. Get cold more than I used to. | Diarrhea only in the morning, I just make sure I don't have to leave the house for the first two hours after I get up and I'm fine the rest of the day. Since I'm perimenopausal I have no problem getting cold more than I used to. I also take medication for anxiety disorder and the bystolic really helps keep me from getting anxious too. | F | 45 | 3 months 10mg 1X day | 11/5/2012 | 4 | for high bp | So far I am experiencing insomnia, will this pass? My blood pressure is stabalizing but this no sleep thing is aweful! | F | 34 | 4 days 5mg | 10/29/2012 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | DO NOT take this medication if you have HNPP (Hereditary Neuropathy with liability to Pressure Palsies). This condition makes an individual very susceptible to nerve injury from pressure, stretch or repetitive use. When I began Bystolic, I started getting numbness and tingling in my hands and feet which kept progressing each day. I couldn't even cut an onion without the pressure of the knife causing damage to my nerves. It took nearly a year to get complete control and feeling back in my hands and feet. | It took my blood pressure down unlike other BP meds. | F | 30 | 5 days 5 MG 1X day | 10/22/2012 | 1 | Hypertension | Shortness of breath, the inability to walk at a sustained pace for more than 15 seconds without feeling winded, the feeling that dozens of tiny hands were squashing my heart and lungs like a boa constrictor, a weakness in my left shoulder as though I'd done 60 1-handed push-ups, anxiety, and the lump/swelling above my right. knee described. by another reviewer. My message to everyone is: IT'S NOT YOU!!!! This stuff can kill you and don't stay on it 1 moment after you've experienced any kind of misery or uncertainty!! | M | 59 | 3 days 10 mg | 10/2/2012 |
