Haven't The Same On Bystolic

I have been on Bystolic since this11-1-15 it's now 4-22-16 I have begged my doctor from day two on this medication to take me off. my heart rate is low but b/p runs very high then drops very low. on my last medication I had a very bad reaction after being on it for 3 years. I get o of breath hurt all over gained weight can't think. But still will not listen to me. I was told I don't have a right to tell her anything.i went to a hart doctor who said this was a very bad medication for me in every way... now I have to have a heart echo. said he will take me off cold turkey after the echo test. my problem is I have such reactions to most medication after taking for a while with rashes and not being able to breath. this scares me to death.

Hello, Lynn! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems you're having and that your doctor won't listen to you. I've been there and had to deal with that… it eventually lead to my having full congestive heart failure, because my blood pressure got so out of control, but they kept prescribing medications that made me sick, or that I couldn't afford, because I was uninsured.

Thankfully, when I got out of the hospital from that, I ended up with an ARNP that understood and worked with me to find the best medications for me, that worked, without making me miserable, though it was over a year of trial and error.

So, from my experience, I've learned there are 2 that you could ask the cardiologist about that are known to work, yet be more gentle and cause less side effects, they are Labetalol and Cadesartan. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. I found that most side effects disappeared, after a few weeks, once my body adjusted to the medication.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?
