Hello, I am 26 weeks pregnant with extrasystoles 64 aprox.64 per hour, my cardiologist decided to medicate me with bisoprolol, 1.25 daily to treat them, the symptoms are pretty bad, that's one of the reasons they decided it, have been to the er like ten times. I read it can decrase blood flow to the placenta and I freaked out, last pregnancy I had to be put on verapamil cause of the same reason, I wish if you would be able to inform me more about this med or if there is a better option as a beta blocker. Thank you so much advance. The cardiologist that saw me was not my head cardiologist since he is out of the country but the work together. Thank you once again.
