Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HealthcareMagic!
I understand your concern and would explain that this is a known adverse of Bystolic, as a beta-blocker.
Considering the fact that even after reducing the dose, you are experiencing these adverse effects, I would conclude that you do not tolerate this drug and switching to another drug would be recommendable.
If your complaints persist, even after stopping Bystolic, I would recommend performing some blood lab tests to investigate for other possible causes that may exacerbate the situation:
- fasting glucose
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes
- a resting ECG.
Meanwhile, I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure and heart rate values.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
