Mode of action of nebivolol
Nebivolol is a cardioselective beta-blocker that works exclusively on the beta-1 receptors of the heart when ingested into the body. Beta-1 receptors are special binding sites of the sympathetic fibers of the autonomic nervous system, which are normally activated by the body’s own messengers adrenaline and norepinephrine. Nebivolol displaces these endogenous messenger substances at the receptors and thus suppresses their effect. At the heart’s beta-1 receptors, nebivolol significantly lowers blood pressure while decreasing the number of heartbeats.

Shortness of breath, sleep disorders, absurd dreams, tiredness, but no desired effect. I will discontinue the nebivolol (presumably and after consultation with my GP) and switch back to the previous medication (dilemma).
Side effects: Difficulty in breathing
Nebivolol for High blood pressure
My pulse has been dropping to 54 since taking nebivolol 5 mg in the morning. which I think is not enough for me because I have a stature of 132 kg. This is of course marked by dizziness and mild respiratory distress. That can scare you. After a phone call with my family doctor, she said, I should not worry, because a resting heartbeat of 54 in this drug is probably not bad.
Side effects: Difficulty in breathing; Dizziness
Nebivolol for High blood pressure
Amitriptyline has been taking 50 mg in the evening for 6 years. I initially had severe drowsiness and dizziness. These then improved after about 8 weeks. Have since gained 14 pounds and water retention. The pain is significantly improved and the RSL is also lower, which generally improves sleep. Unfortunately, the mucosal dryness has now deteriorated to such an extent that I have constant inflammations of the oral mucosa. I tolerate no more dentures (eg bridges). Dentist visits have become unbearable for me. I always have a torn and inflamed tongue. The food intake of some foods is therefore no longer possible. Colds have become significantly worse. I also have laryngitis and several bladder infections behind me. Will probably have to sell amitriptyline.
