It can cause GI upset unrelated to beta blockade
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to have developed gastroesophageal reflux. Beta blockers like bisoprolol can cause gastro-intestinal upset, though its unrelated to beta blockade. These medicines should be avoided if possible. In fact only way to confirm this is to withdraw your medicines (while monitoring your BP regularly) and see if your symptoms improves within a week or so.
Medicines that can cause or aggravate GERD are pain-killers, potassium supplements, bisphosphonates, beta blockers, theophylline, asthma medicines and calcium-channel blockers.
You can try ACEI or ARBs. But these also have been suggested to cause heart burn in some people. So we need to approach your case by trial and error method. Try the medicine and see if GERD gets worse.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
