> It also can keep your pulse from going up when you excercise which is dangerous. Although I didn't take inderal, I was given lopressor 25mg and when I used the treadmill I couldn't get my heat rate up. Fondly, Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,That's really weird. I have trouble getting my heart rate up high enough when I exercise normally. After going on the beta blocker, I found that if I took it in the morning and exercised that afternoon, my heart rate went way up. Maybe because the blocker was wearing off and all the unused adrenaline was just hanging around waiting for a receptor to cling on to!
