Anyone else on beta blockers?

I've been on Bismoporol for about two months to try to regulate my heartbeat (I have multiple ectopic beats). Have coped OK up to now, just feeling a bit more tired, but a week ago my dose was increased to 10mg. I'm splitting the dose into 5mg morning and evening, but it's still making me feel terrible. I'm getting episodes of palpitations (ironic, as I didn't get them before!) and also feel sick and woolly headed.

Would like to hear other people's experiences. Will the side effects settle down? Is there any thing I can do to minimise them?
TIA

I am on Atenolol, 50mg morning 25mg night and have no side effects. When i started the night dose i felt tired for about a week but that has now gone.

Do you think you could ask to try a different betablocker.?

I think I will if the side effects don't settle down - just not sure how long I should give it.

I take proprananol and take 40mg Am and 40mg pm. No side effects x

I used to be on propananol years ago and don't remember getting any side effects. Feeling slightly less tired today though, so will give the bisoprolol a bit longer
