I asked my GP ton give me something to slow down my Heartbeat it was around 90 bps. I take 10mg of minoxidil and 4mg of captopril daily ton control my BP which is fine 130/80 ave. The GP gave me half of one 5mg of Nebivolol daily and it did the job, BUT I now suffer with extreamely shortness of breath just walking 50 yrds is enough to make me stop and sit down. What is the consequences of coming off this drug.

Hello,

Nebivolol can cause reduction in heartbeat severe enough to cause fatigue and shortness of breath. You should meet your doctor for a reduction in dose.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
