I recently had my blood pressure medicine changed, strengthened I am sorry to say. I was told by my physician that I now am taking a beta blocker, the most noticiable side effect he warned me about is during my workout, he said my heart would not be as fast....that I havent noticed....but I have noticed that my arms feel fatigued, dont know if it is a by product of my spottty training recently due to a broken pool pump, 2 funerals, and a kidney stone, or the new medicine....anyone here have any experience with this? thanks in advance.

Diovan is an ARB (angiotensin receptor blocker) which unlike an ACEI (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) works directly on the angiotensin receptor. At one time considered second or third line therapy, this class of antihypertensive agents is now being used for first line treatment. Very well tolerated, no effect on heart rate.
