| 2 | High blood pressure and heart rate | Dizziness, extreme fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, swelling of legs/feet, chest pain, extreme shortness of breath on exertion, blurry vision | I have been on it for one week. Felt dizzy and fatigued within 1/2 of first pill (10 mg). Within 3 days, my vision became blurry and my contacts no longer work well. Fatigue and chest pain have been troublesome. Cannot walk up flight of steps without getting out of breath. I have to wonder, as some others do, whether it might just be better to have the disease than suffer with the side effects from cure. Heart rate went from 90-120 range only to the 80 range. Disappointing results. Blood pressure mostly improved, but can suddenly spike to 160's/100's. Not sure if I will continue to take this due to the side effects. | M | 44 | 7 days | 5/1/2009 | 2 | hbp | back and kidney pain | I have a hard time with blood pressure meds causing back and muscle pain, usually behind the kidneys. After using bystolic for a week, it steadily got worse and worse to the point that it felt like a heavyweight boxer was using my kidneys for a punching bag. It controlled my bp, but the side-effect was way to much live with. | M | 43 | 7 days | 3/16/2009 | 3 | high blood presure | I could not sleep . I felt sleepy but just could not sleep | It's good on my BP.But made me feel weird. I am not sleeping. | F | 47 | 2 weeks | 3/13/2009 | 2 | Doctor recommended it | shaky, tired, nauseated | I take 5 mg a day | M | 68 | 6 days | 3/13/2009 | 4 | high BP & rapid heart rate | initally very tired sleeping off and on all day was also taking diovan hct at the same time after stopping diovan I feel good | Has slowed down my heart rate and BP seems within normal range | F | 59 | 7 months | 3/5/2009 | 3 | High BP | My heart rate usually drops to the mid 50's during warmer months [I'm a cyclist] and I usually exercise with a HR of 155-165 with sustainable [20-30 minutes] above 170. Now, my resting heart rate when I wake up is around 40 and I can't seem to get it above 130 when exercising. | It's the only thing that has seem to work with BP rates which has dropped from 165/100 to 110/70 with this drug. | M | 43 | 7 days | 3/4/2009 | 2 | Hypertension | Nausea and heartburn. Discontinued medication. | Anxiety and heart rate improved with Bystolic. | F | 53 | 10 weeks | 2/25/2009 | 2 | prehypertension | worked ok at first but then the MIGRAINES started one so bad it woke me out of a deep sleep. constant headeaches, no weight gain felt spacey weird inside of my head. | I was very reluctant to take it too new for me..I like medicine thats been on the market forever. this med was approve it 2008 there are some FDA warnings you cant stop suddenly you have to been weaned off. You can DIE. it plays to much with the heart for me slowly heart rate down is not natural to do. Be careful I was weaned off now on Norvasc and do not have those weird head feelings anymore | F | 43 | 30 days | 2/8/2009 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | I was on Toprol for a couple of years and started getting depressed. I switched to Bystolic. At first I had trouble with dizziness at 10mg. I got a pill splitter and now take 7.5mg and the dizziness went away. Issues with erectile dysfunction have definitely subsided compared to Toprol. BP is 120/80. | M | 56 | 4 months | 2/4/2009 | 5 | I felt a little fatigued for about a month. But then my body got used to the medication and no side effects whatsoever. | Bystolic is an awesome medication. I had been on Toprol for several years but it was increasing my blood sugar. I switched to Bystolic and my blood pressure and blood sugar both went down. Again, this is an AWESOME medication. | M | 44 | 6 months | 2/2/2009 | 2 | HBP | 5mgm dose. Lost all interest and sense of initiative. I felt "shutdown," so to speak. Not depressed, I just did not want to do anything much. Stopped reading, emailing,I cleaned my apartment, and shopped only when I had to. Tired or lethargic most of the time. I find it difficult to explain how I felt. More like a vegetable, perhaps. Also, some upper back pains as my BP was low. I thought that my BP must be running high when I had the pain, but it was normal to low normal. | I used it at night and took Benicar HCT 40/12.5 in the AM. It worked well for three or four years. Then it was not effective enough, so my Dr. gave me samples of Bystolic to take in the PM. I had been walking, going to the gym, and functioning reasonably well most of the time, although as my BP increased I had more bad days then good days. The Bystolic took my BP from 140/90 and higher to under 130/70 with slower pulse, as well. I was pleased with how it lowered my BP but after a week or two I felt as if I did not care about anything or anyone. I would stop taking it for a few evenings, and would start to function quite well again, but had to go back on it as my BP increased. I tried taking half a tablet, but that did not seem to change the problem after several days back on it. I am going to try Hyzaar, no Benicar HCT or Bystolic. I do hope that the Hyzaar works without all of the side effects that I have read about. | F | 69 | 5 months | 1/20/2009 | 1 | High Blood Pressure. | Cold leg,arm, numness feel like fainting, pain in vein or artery and many listed on server side effect list. My Doctor wouldn't agree with me. | If many people get similer side effect like myself. it should be called off the shelf. It was sadest two weeks of my life. | M | 55 | 2 weeks | 1/8/2009 | 1 | Rapid Heart beat PSVT | Swelling of hands & ankles, bad headaches, very dizzie, heart burn, weight gain of 7 lbs in a week | F | 56 | 7 days | 12/23/2008 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | So far, none that are significant and attributable to Bystolic. I am tracking weight and sugar levels to see if anything shows up over time. | 5 mg dose/day reduced BP from 138/86 avg to 120/72 avg. HR typically low 60s. | M | 56 | 3 months | 12/15/2008 | 4 | Hypertension | Got my BP down right away. Only side effect was a whopper...a horrible spreading/itchy rash. Discontinued 30 days ago and the rash, although still there, is going away SLOWLY every day. | M | 61 | 45 days | 11/21/2008 | 3 | High Blood Pressure | Reduce libido, dizziness. | M | 55 | 30 days | 11/16/2008 | 5 | Rapid Heart Rate & MVP | None what so ever | I was on 75 mg of Toprol XL for 7 years for a fast heart rate and MVP. The medication stopped working for me so my Doctor prescribed Bystolic and I love it. I went from taking three pills a day to one 5 mg pill. I've had no side effects since being on it. I feel so much better since starting this medication. | F | 32 | 3 months | 11/5/2008 | 4 | hypertension | no particular side effects that I can attribute to Bystolic alone. I take enalapril in addition. I sometime feel light headed, have mild chest pain and random shooting pains in my left eye/head. | This drug is wonderful at heart rate control and I actually feel calmer. I think my side effects are more from the enalapril. | F | 40 | 30 days | 10/29/2008 | 3 | Hypertension | after 4 months I experienced fatigue, mild joint pains, loss of libido and morning erections,weight gain, higher cholesterol and increased sugar levels. Maybe these side effects will improve over time. | Excellent heart rate control and very mild on the stomach. Decent blood pressure control. | M | 51 | 4 months | 10/28/2008 | 4 | Blood Pressure and High Pulse | No side effects after I had taken it for a month or so. | It has controlled my B.P. and pulse well. I had taken Atenolol for about 20 years and began feeling very poor when I took it. I tried many other beta blockers and also felt poor. During these past 8 months that I have been taking Bystolic I have not had the beta blocker side effects and I have felt good. So far I am very impressed with Bystolic. | F | 62 | 8 months | 10/25/2008 |
