What Is The Duration Of Time To Adjust Bystolic To The Body?
I was put on bystolic for high blood pressure about 3 weeks ago. It is ony 5 mg. My pressure was running 170 over 92 with a pulse of between 88-95. This last week my pressure is reading between 101-102 over 67-68, and my pulse is around 66. I was happy to be put on medicine for this, but every other day, I don t feel good. About how long does it take for a person to get use to this?

Hello and Welcome
I appreciate your concern. Your B.p reading is normal now
At least 6 weeks are required before the BP meds take full effect and their efficacy can be evaluated then If your symptoms persist please fix an
appointment with your doctor so that a physical exam is performed after a
complete history and the necessary investigations are done to look for any
other cause
wishing you best of health
Thanks
