What Causes Cold And Tingling Sensation In Hands And Feet While On Bisoprolol?
I had a stress test a couple of weeks ago that was deemed normal. I am 60 years old and take 10 mg Ramapril a day for high blood pressure and recently 2.5 mg a day bisoprolol fummarate. In the last week or so, my hands and feet are cold and tingling. Keeps me awake. Is this normal for taking the bisoprolol? Should I stay on the medicine?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have cold and tingling sensation in hands and feet while on Bisoprolol . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack . It can also occur due to side effects of blood pressure medicine , so consult cardiologist for it . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . If your are experiencing dizziness , shortness of breath or weakness along with numbness and tingling in legs then your should go to emergency . I would suggest you to put your legs and feet in hot water tun with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily , drink plenty if water , eat healthy and do light exercise .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
