How Can Severe Fatigue While On Bisoprolol Be Treated?

My partner is taking Bisoprolol after having a stent fitted a month ago and is feeling extremely tired again. He was taking it in the mornings and was then advised by the cardiac nurse to take at night as he is a lorry driver. This seems to of made the tiredness worse during the day and now he is constantly exhausted. Is there any advice you could give us please?

Hello,

Thanks for your query on HCM

"As"per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this -

Discuss with your treating Doctor to adjust dose of medication to minimum to control blood pressure and take it once a day only and follow lifestyle modification like this -

1)Try to eat healthy foods. Try the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish and low-fat dairy foods. Get plenty of potassium, which can help prevent and control high blood pressure. Eat less saturated fat and trans fat.

2)Try to decrease the salt in your diet.

3)Try to maintain a healthy weight. Keeping a healthy weight, or losing weight if you're overweight or obese, can help you control your high blood pressure and lower your risk of related health problems. If you're overweight, losing even 5 pounds can lower your blood pressure.

4)Increase physical activity. Regular physical activity can help lower your blood pressure, manage stress, reduce your risk of several health problems and keep your weight under control.

5)you can do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic activity, or a combination or moderate and vigorous activity. Aim to do muscle-strengthening exercises at least two days a week.

6)Try to limit alcohol and avoid smoking

7)Try to manage stress. Reduce stress as much as possible. Practice healthy coping techniques, such as muscle relaxation, deep breathing or meditation. Getting regular physical activity and plenty of sleep can help, too.

8)Monitor your blood pressure at home. Home blood pressure monitoring can help you keep closer tabs on your blood pressure, show if medication is working, and even alert you and your doctor to potential complications.

Hope that helps
