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.
I was on one for my pre-hypertension that a doc (not my regular one) put me on when I was having what I thought were heart problems that turned out to be exercised induced asthma. I stayed on it for about 5 years. If I forgot to take it, I really noticed my HR getting higher than it did when I took it as I should have. I lost 50 pounds this year and decided to get off of all my meds including the beta blocker. My doctor gave me a taper down for the prescription and I am now drug-free :bliss:.
