Annoyingly, my blood pressure refused to stabilize, so my doctor insisted I take meds for that. We have been through multiple types of blood pressure meds also. The side effects have been horrible with all of them. The latest one is Bisoprolol at a strength of 5 milligrams. Still lots of nasty side effects — digestive issues, stomach pain, nausea, extreme fatigue, headaches, urine retention, too much urine, joint pain, dizziness, bad balance…cool stuff — NOT.
