BP ranged from 99/48, 107/56, to 113/55. When I saw the consultant at the lipid clinic, they were concerned and took me off the Bisoprolol. I am waiting to hear from the cardiologist and hope also to get a GP appointment. Thank you ladies for your comments.

What is a "cholesterol specialist"? Is it a doctor?
I'm sure your cardiologist will sort out the right balance. It's true that bisoperol lowers the BP

You may find coming off Bisoprolol is very helpful When I was on it my heart rate became very low. I hope you get an appointment with your cardiologist soon as he will be the one to sort out the medication and your side effects. It took quite a bit of manipulation before my meds were sorted.

I'm sorry to read this. You say your blood pressure is "very low". How low?

Do any of you lovely Grans have very low blood pressure? I was prescribed Bisoprolol, Aspirin and Dapagliflozin together with Clopidogrel after a minor heart attack and my blood pressure is very low. My cholesterol specialist has told me to stop the Bisoprolol and referred me back to the cardiologist. I have a whole host of side effects from the medications and I'm finding it very difficult to get appointment at the GP. Any thoughts ladies? Thank you for reading!!
