As my heart function dropped, I was given higher doses, the weight went up quickly, but as the body got used to it, the
weight dropped. At a point, I had to take
Coreg, a very strong beta blocker drug. I was started in very small doses, and my weight climbed again, and when I went on gorilla doses, it went higher. Again, as I continued to exercise and control my diet, the weight left. However, never could I get my heart rate higher than 110 bpm in the twelve year period.
