I take 100mg of toprol daily for high blood pressure. I%26#039;ve been running for the last 6 months and recently started using a heart rate monitor while running. The highest I%26#039;ve been able to get my heart rate is 171. That was sprinting up hill for a 1/4 mile and dry heaving at the end. after a 2 mile slow warm up. I know for my age of 28 my MHR would normally be in the 190%26#039;s. Any explanations?
Does taking a beta blocker lower my maximum heart rate?
Ok. Toprol will lower your heart rate, but also your body is just getting used to being worked (like running) Just take it easy. Sometimes Toprol will lower you too much.
Does taking a beta blocker lower my maximum heart rate?
dear, there are receptors in the heart which responsible for increase and decrease of the heart rate under the control of sympathatic and parasympathatic mediators.....when you run your muscles need energy and as compansatory mechansim heart rate will increase , bete blocker drugs will decrease the heart rate since there are no receptors to make your heart rate increase....so heart rate will deacres when you take these drugs
