What it is:
Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker, a type of heart medication that helps reduce the heart’s workload and control heart rhythm. It’s often prescribed for heart failure, high blood pressure, or irregular heartbeats.
Why I take it:
I take Bisoprolol to support my weak heart (LVSD, EF 20–25%) and manage my ventricular bigeminy. It helps my heart pump more efficiently and prevents dangerous rhythm changes.
How I take it:
-
Taken orally, usually once a day in the morning.
-
Important to take it at the same time every day for consistent effect.
Safety Tips:
-
Don’t suddenly stop taking it — this can worsen heart rhythm or blood pressure.
-
Monitor for dizziness, fatigue, or unusually slow pulse and report to your doctor.
-
Check interactions with other medications.
How it helps me:
Taking Bisoprolol helps me stay stable, reduces symptoms like breathlessness and palpitations, and keeps me safer day-to-day, allowing me to live independently.
