Is Bisoprolol advised for high heart rate?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 26 years old. My BP is 130/80 mmHg. I am facing the problem of a high heart rate of around 100 beats per minute. I can also feel my heartbeat even if I am at rest. My ECG, echo, and TMT test are normal. My doctor prescribed Bisoprolol 2.5. Is that fine for me? Is there any serious problem? Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Heart rate from 60 to 100 beats per minute is normal. As you say, your heart rate is around 100 beats per minute. It is not tachycardia, but it can best be termed as a heart rate on the higher side. Firstly, you have not mentioned your lifestyle, sleep cycle, smoking habits, and whether you are an alcoholic or not.

What are your anxiety levels? Anxiety can be a very important cause of mild tachycardia in young patients. Does this heart rate remain elevated all the time or during some specific period? As of now, I would like to see your ECG or electrocardiogram to know whether it is sinus tachycardia or sinus arrhythmia. Bisoprolol is not a first-line medicine for tachycardia, especially for a young person with normal blood pressure. I think a cardiologist did not advise me about this. Kindly consult your specialist doctor and confirm the treatment.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.
