12 Jul 2013	I am now 70 years old and started taking ApoBisoprolol 4 years ago. Early side effect effects were a runny nose and strong drop in sexual interest. But more recently my eyesight started to suffer, had acid reflux and I had to be treated for severe pyronei's disease. I also had one serious atrial fibrillation event that needed shock treatment in the hospital to get the heart back to a steady normal rhythm. Over the past year I suffered from dizziness and lost 15 lbs in weight and am still loosing more. I also now have been diagnosed for osteopinia after my BMD was tested. Am now taking calcium citrate and vitamin D. Will be asking my Heart Specialist to change my medication. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
