| 3 | BP | fatigue, dizziness, confused, tightness in chest, leg cramps,cold feet,can't sleep, restless,back pain, 30 lb weight gain with no loss at all when dieting. | for the past 6 months I have to take 2 5mg tablets a day bc the pharmacys can't get the drug in 10mg. no explanation given...I have never equated the side effects with the drug until reading this page..now I'm planning on stopping altogether when I speak with my doctor. so glad I read this page, truly thought it was thyroid bc symptoms are similar but those test all came back negative. | F | 68 | 3 years 10 mg 1X day | 1/16/2015 | 2 | blood pressure | Horrible. I got tremors, started slurring my speech, hadcold feet, insomnia stayed up till 5 AM. Itching head and vaginal, palpitations | Went off Coreg cause of depression and went on Bystolic. Worse side effects on this. | F | 54 | 2 days 1X day | 1/1/2015 | 4 | Chronic migraines | None really, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it decreases my metabolism a bit. And I noticed that it will limit my heart rate during cardio - guessing by about 10bpm. | Huge affect on control of migraines. Used to have 2-3 migraines a week, now down to 2-3 a month. And it reduced my blood pressure a bit, which was good, since I was on a little too high (135/85). | M | 39 | 4 years 5 1X day | 12/31/2014 | 1 | high blood pressue | Dizzy, nausea, vertigo, next day knee and joint pain. Tired at the gym, confused feeling and forgetful, all after one pill. Prior to taking Bystolic, felt fine. | There seems to be a numerous patients that have experienced extreme side effects. Beginning to think this entire blood pressure regulation is a marketing scam as all my parents and grand parents lived to 80's or 90's and never took a single pill or had their BP analyzed so frequently. Eat healthy food and exercise and forget the pills and the side effects. | M | 53 | 1 days 5 1X day | 12/19/2014 | 1 | Borderline highpertensive | Extreme tiredness,headache, ankle swelling, overall just plain sick. Pulse reading of 51 | I advise patients taking this medication to consult their cardiologist to discontinue this medication but gradually it is not worth the side effects and quality of life. | F | 65 | 1 weeks 5 | 12/11/2014 | 3 | hypertension | Feel like space cadet. Constantly fatigued. Weight gain of 20 pounds. | F | 55 | 2 years 5mg 1X day | 12/7/2014 | 1 | very high blood pressure | Headaches,,very tired,leg,and hip, back cramps,,did not bring down b.p. still 150/110 after 2 yrs.felt like a space cadet all time...Dr.switching me to diff.med. | Would not reccomend this to anyone,felt like I was poisoned... | F | 57 | 2 years 10 mg | 11/18/2014 | 1 | HBP | Could not SLEEP - up until 5 a.m.; nervousness. Got off and fine.. | 75 | 120 days 10M 1X day | 11/16/2014 | 3 | irregular heartbeat | I get horrible heartburn, and my ankles swell pretty bad at night. | The reason I am taking Bystolic has been corrected with the medicine, and I have tried other beta blockers that had worse side effects. I am happy it helps my heart issues, but the side effects are hard to handle. | F | 24 | 5 months 5 mg | 11/10/2014 | 1 | HBP | Constantly exhausted, can't run anymore because I can' t get my breath, strange fluid feeling in chest at random, I get out of breath just from going up stairs. light sensitive headaches at random, mood swings and I gained 40 lbs even after cutting my food portions down to the point where coworkers are shocked at how little I am eating saying that there's something wrong. I have to take melatonin to counter the insomnia and sometimes I still wake up at midnight wide awake. Thanks Bystolic, I now look and feel like the Stay Puffed marsh mellow man. | My BP was 150/100 and Bystolic dropped it to 125/75. Is it worth it. Not to me. | M | 41 | 1 years 5mg 1X day | 11/3/2014 | 3 | Hypertension | Immediate decease in BP and HR was great. After about 6 months started to experience night sweats, insomnia,extreme fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, severe headaches, tinnitus, and weight gain. Gradual increase in all of these side effects until being told by cardiologist to stop taking this med. | F | 42 | 1 years 5mg | 10/30/2014 | 1 | High Bp and occasional tachycardia | Aaaaaak. Headache, chest psin, nausea., and shoulder pain Got off this fast | F | 65 | 1 weeks 5 | 10/20/2014 | 1 | hypertension | Severe exhaustion. Very low heart rate. Haven't felt well since stopping it a month ago. My blood pressure is now normal again without any medication and my pulse rate is back to 70 from the 40 it fell to on systolic. | F | 66 | 1 months 5 mg | 10/18/2014 | 2 | Hbp | Low heart rate. Burning pain in neck, shoulders and arms. Heart palipitations and chest discomfort/tightness. Tired more than usual and head feels heavy all the time. Thinking is not sharp and very forgetful. Some weight gain. | This med did lower my bp but I do not like the side effects. After reading other reviews on this site, I am telling my doctor to give me something else. I have not felt good since going on bystolic and feel like I have aged 10 years In just the past 2 months. I agree with others that it builds up in your system over time and makes things worse instead of better. Glad I found this review site. | F | 58 | 2 months 2.5 mg 1X day | 10/11/2014 | 1 | Blood pressure | Asthma which I did not have, testicular pain, hip pain, elbow pain, weight gain, runny nose. | M | 50 | 8 months 5 mg | 10/7/2014 | 1 | High BP | Moderate to severe leg, hip, lower back pain. No side effects to begin with-now, I am experiencing side effects that are interfering with my daily function. I teach college & sit behind my podium which goes against my teaching style 100%! I have to come off of this drug. It was great for lowering BP, but I can' t take the joint pain any longer. My feet feel as if they've been beaten with a baseball bat! Also-my entire length if my legs feel as if they are swollen-confirmed this when I put on a pair of jeans & they were tight all the way down my legs. Weight gained-just not sure how much. | F | 57 | 2 months 5 MG | 9/28/2014 | 1 | HBP | Extreme Breathlessness when exercising, walking up a flight of stairs, cleaning the floors etc. It got to the point that I thought I was either going to pass out or have a heart attack. Big weight gain mostly in the stomach area like I was 5 months pregnant. | One year was enough! I changed Doctors, stopped taking this and in 6 months without changing anything except medications, I have lost 15 pounds! My Doctor ignored me every time I complained about the weight gain. The second Doctor did the same thing and offered me Prozac. The third Doctor I went to finally listened to me. What a difference! | F | 49 | 10mg 1X day | 9/23/2014 Patient History | 1 | HBP | Respiratory distress. | Short version-This drug will kill you with respiratory problems. Will give you asthma like symptoms, make you feel like you are drowning, and put you in the ER. Also causes RAPID weight gain. Do NOT take this drug. I have stopped and am still waiting to see if my problems go cease. | M | 65 | 1 years 10mg 2X day | 9/17/2014 | 4 | ventricular tachycardia | This drug caused such severe brachycardia that I need a pacemaker. | I wish the drug was made in smaller doses: . 5 mg would probably work for me, but the lowest is made at 2.5 mg. Ventricular tachycardia is too dangerous to mess with, so I need to stay on a beta blocker | F | 65 | 1.5 years 1.25 mg 1X day | 8/23/2014 | 2 | Blood Pressure | can't do heavy cardio. Heart rate won't come up enough and I get tinkling in arms and legs sometimes followed by a massive headache if I start cardio too fast. hate this stuff!!! | Since I exercise a lot, my BP has risen to as much as !90/100 with a heart rate of 55! ACE inhibitors have too many side effect for me and I really feel between a rock and a hard place | M | 61 | 1 years 10mg 1X day | 8/20/2014 |
