Effect on heart rate when walking
Posted , 4 users are following.
My GP has prescribed me 10mg propanolol "when I need it" so mostly I take one in the morning and it is a relief not to feel my heart pounding away – till it wears off at lunchtime. I am always anxious so there's hardly a day when I don't feel I need it.
My question is: I do love walking holidays and I'm about to go up to the Yorkshire moors – what will happen when I exert myself ie climbing steep gradients? My heart rate would normally increase hugely, obviously – what happens on a beta blocker, can your slowed-down heart cope with extra exertion?

My blood pressure has been over 200/100 not pleasant. I have been taken off propanolol I was on 5 mg, now on a water tablet great.
Stress anxiety etc we ALL get it at some times I am surprises that you GP has let you decide when you take the tablet , you said ( when you need it ).
