Thanks for the reply, When i stared taking the BB at the recommend dose it made me feel awful so the Dr thought that maybe it was slowing the bottom of my heart down to much so he cut it in half. then I noticed at a half of dose i didn't feel as bad but i would get pressure in my head, shortness of breath and a awful sharp pain right in my heart like some jab something in it. I took the BB for a year. Bystolic is the newest BB on the market in the U.S. but has been around over seas for about 10 years. It's suppose to have the least side effects and you only had to take it once a day but no matter what amount i took even cut down to the size of a small nail head i still got the pain. So i stopped taking it about 8 days ago. My last doctors visit we talked about doing a test that would show the bad area in my heart and they could later it away. My concern with that is they really don't know what the cause could be because there is no patterns to what causes it. If i drink caffeine or not still the same. Sometimes it does it on days i go alot sometimes not and sometimes it does it on days ido nothing. other than that most of the time its good. I just wished it could be figured out because i feel like its holding me back from things i enjoy
While reading I began to suspect the female cycle, then checking your profile I see you are a male, so that is out.
Perhaps there is a Beta Blocker or a Calcium Channel Blocker that will help that has tolerable side effects. I do not know the brand "Bystolic", I take generic Metoprolol myself, very inexpensive too. I take 25 mg twice a day, normal release medication. The side effects that were the most troubling to me, dizziness, passed after taking the medication for a few weeks. Maybe you need to give your medication a longer "test run". Just be careful, I don't know what your side effects are, nor am I qualified to evaluate them...just sharing my experience with BB. My condition is Atrial Fibrillation.
