Possible side effects are listed to be headache, dizziness, tiredness, nausea, slow heartbeat, and trouble sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.  Usually a heart rate of 50 to 60 is not considered problematic.  A very slow heart rate runs the risk of clots.
