Although it is a: beta blocker it is less likely to be effective for sinus tachycardia than others. It might be better to use metoprolol, inderal or atenolol instead. These would also be more effective for migraine than Bisoprolol.

May work: Are you sure you have runs of sinus tachycardia rather than other types of supraventricular tachycardia? You were previously taking a beta blocker(propanolol 40mgs )twice a day. For sinus tachycardia either an extra dose of propanolol or bisoprolol taken as needed should slow the heart rate for you. Your cardiologist can advise you best, however.
