Bysolic side effects

I am a 63 female taking 10 mg Bystolic once in the evening.  I have been taking it for a year now and lately have been feeling light headed and slightly dizzy in the mornings when I wake up and then throughout the day.  Is this a side effect of this drug? It was prescribed mainly for the rapid heart beats.

Hi,
I had to stop taking Bystolic because of the symptoms you are having. I agree with NTB my blood pressure was dropping to low I fell a few times, mornings were the worse.

that's probably from the Bystolic getting your blood pressure down too low. Did you lose weight recently? Can you check your BP when you feel light-headed?

Maybe your doc will reduce your dosage.

Also, make sure the light-headedness doesn't result in a fall.
