propranolol and heart rate

Does anyone know how propranolol effects exercise? I do triathlon and train using a heart rate monitor. I am wondering if I would be able to progress athletically given my heart rate would be lowered substantially?

One night when I was about to sleep, I checked my heart rate and it was 62. I heard normal heart rate should be between 60 - 100. Mine seems to be slipping down. This gave me a small panic attack and my anxiety is back. I heard that slow heart rates can cause sudden death. I am afraid for my health. I cannot stop on Carbimazole and the little Propranolol that I take. Should I approach a specialist or do you thing that this condition is benign?

My blood pressure is pretty normal with this heart rate. I freaked out and checked my husbands heart rate and bp and his also was 62 while just sitting. But it really freaks me out cause i'm used to having a 80's heart rate. Could it be low because i did alot of sleeping or does it sound like something serious?

ve been taking panic attacks for the last week or so and went to the doctor telling her I had been having bad heart palpitations and pains in my chest and she is referring me to a heart palpitation specialist but she gave me propranolol because she thinks it may be anxiety, but I'm lying in my bed just watching TV and my heart rate is 51 - 60 roughly bpm, is this too low should I be worried I'm such a panicked and I would just like someone to try and put my mind at rest :(???

I have a history of migraines for about twenty years. I quit smoking 7 months ago, and started propranolol 20 mg once a day. I gained 30 pounds. My whole body is sore and Im having episodes where my upper body and sometimes legs just feel so heavy and tired I feel like Im going to pass out. Had a Head CT, Head and Neck CTA, CBC, EKG all were normal. Is it related to migraine? ER doctor said it is anxiety. Oh I stopped celexa five months ago because I was extremely fatigued.

Propanolol is very useful to control heart rate and tremors while the anti-thyroid medication is taking effect. We usually taper off the beta blocker when the T4 and T3 become normal. At that time we also begin to decrease/taper the anti-thyroid drug. Your doctor is giving good advice. I cannot tell you to continue or stop a medication via this forum. You can tell your doctor you are more comfortable continuing the low dose of propanolol until the next lab/visit and see what he/she says.

There are several blood pressure meds available that do not affect the heart and the heart rate. ACE inhibitors, AT2 blockers, alpha blockers, diuretics, some calcium channel blockers, etc.

It not only keeps your blood pressure and heart rate lower, but it keeps you from having the effects of a thyroid storm (a malignant acceleration of heart rate, blood pressure, and body temp that can result in brain damage, a heart attack, or a stroke). Also, when the time comes for you to go off of it, you should taper over a 2-4 week period. (Eg. Week one-take 1/2 dose each day; Week #2 take 1/2 dose every other day, etc.

I originally was taking it for anxiety, but now i feel as though it is good for my drug problem and saves me from having a heart attack. Is this true? Because I feel as though the propranolol slows down my heart rate and makes my pulse lower than it would be if i just did coke. I'm trying to fix my problem but i want to know if the combination of coke and propranolol is dangerous. Please provide me with an answer.

m on propranolol to control it, a very low dose of propranolol at that, but for the past few days, my blood pressure has been exceptionally low. My heart rate too, for example this morning my blood pressure is 112/66 heart rate 61. It's been like this the past few days, heart rate as low as 54 and blood pressure as low as 100/59. What's up with this?

Yes aslongest your not taking any medication, u can drink, but dont abuse is bad for your heart, & head... Beta blockers are good for lower bp and heart rate, or after heart attack or heart surgery, just take care eat healthy, n acohol might be good for ur heart or might be bad for ur heart, talk to your doctor.. Ask for advice... Best of luck...

Treatment with both propranolol and fluvoxamine may result in slower heart rate and low blood pressure. Your doctor may need to adjust the dosage. Otherwise, clonazepam can be taken together with propranolol.

To begin with, an elevated heart rate is a compensatory response to severe asthma. The increased heart rate causes more oxygen molecules to pass across the interface in the alveoli. Elevated blood pressure too, may be compensatory. In some cases resolution of the asthma will cause the heart rate to drop back down on it's own. If the heart rate is not abnormally high, and there are no irregulatities, it may be best to leave things alone. That being said asthma may be very hard to control.

I take Atenolol and cannot take a full dose all at once. I take it 1/4's of a 25 mg. tablet and keep a check on my bp and heart rate. If it gets too low, I delay the dose. I used to take Toprol XL and I broke that in half on the advice of a nurse, even tho it was extended release. That was better. If I took a whole tablet, my bp would drop like a stone. I worked this out with my primary care doctor and my cardiologist was fine with it.

Thank u I did try it but it made my blood pressure low so my doc started me on propranolol 10mg 2x daily have u ever heard of that I use to take 40mg of propranolol for having fast heart rate I took it for ten yrs and on july 1, 2013 I got the gastric bypass surgery and I took myself off the propranolol cuz my heart rate stayed low and I was scared to take it because it lowers ur heart rate more after all that's why they prescribed the propranolol in the first place ten yrs ago but it wasn&#

The cardiologists and electrophysiologists at the hospital switched me to Verapamil and scheduled me for an EP study and ablation. The Verapamil did not lower my heart rate at all and I suffered terrible bouts of tachycardia, much worse than I had ever had before. It has now been 5 days since my EP study and ablation, which was said to be successful.

re not also busy diagnosing and treating the flu and heart problems and body pain etc. So theoretically they become much more expert in it and the interactions between drugs and things like quitting smoking and also in the appropriate drugs to prescribe for a certain condition. Beta blockers, for example, have only been found effective for social anxiety, which doesn't mean they don't work for some people for other things but that's not their main use in anxiety treatment.

As Per pubmed The effects of diltiazem hydrochloride, a vasodilator often used to treat hypertension, and beta-blockers (pindolol and propranolol hydrochloride) on lipid metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism were assessed by measuring serum levels of total cholesterol, high-density-lipoproteins (HDL)-cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose in patients taking these drugs for three months.

My OB put me back in propranolol today and said it should help with the palpitations but I’m concerned because my heart rate seems really low to me and I know it lowers it to help blood pressure. Also I’m nursing I was told that it palpitations could be caused by that?? I have no family history of heart failure, disease or anything so I’m not sure if that makes a difference. What could cause all of these?

s working ok to reduce the heart rate and adrenaline effect on the heart without decreasing too much the blood pressure and without all the nasty side-effects like the ones I have with the Metoprolol right now. I used up to 160 mg of Propranolol before my anxiety kick in to manage my migraine headache and I had no side-effects at all... For the tachycardia, low dose of 10-20 mg x 3 a day will be enough for me.

Propranolol is blocking the ability for blood vessels to dilate and the effect is a so-called unopposed alpha activity, which causes constricted blood vessels and extremely high blood pressure (strokes and heart attacks). The heart rate can also get dangerously slow in response (compensatory bradycardia). Stopping taking propranolol just to go out and take cocaine sounds like a very bad idea.

Hi I have graves disease. I found out Jan 29th this year. I ran out of propranolol (becuase when I break them they crumble sometimes) so I didn't take it for a day. my heart rate went up to 116. I am taking them now. I do feel good though. Really good. The only thing is that I do get tired. I am ready for bed around 10:30. but I awake at 6:00 in the morning.

Thank you so much for the responses. I started propranolol Saturday and there hasn't been a change in my heart rate. My heart rate hasn't gone below 100, and jumps up to the 170s just going up one flight of stairs. I'm looking on Amazon and plan to buy a BP monitor tonight so I can monitor my BP at home and notify my doctor if it gets too low. My doctors just seem stumped since I have a high heart rate but no arrhythmias. That's good, but it also doesn't help get an answer.

I started to become obsessed with my heart and worried non stop about heart attacks and disease. So much that I took more propranolol tablets and became addicted to heart rate apps. Now I no longer use the apps but I feel like the propranolol are what's keeping me stable. And because of that, I no longer feel safe without taking them. I feel like my body and heart are exposed without taking propranolol.
