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'm on atenolol which my doctor tells me that is designed to keep my pulse rate at 120. When I take a stress test, they tell me not to take it 24 hours before the stress test.
I discussed the situation with my doctor and he is allowing me not to take the atenolol one day before and during a swim meet.
My situation may be different from others because I have had a quadriple bypass and currently have a pacemaker/difribillator. My pacemaker is set at 140 beats on the high end and 60 beats on the lower end.
