beta-blockers

[shaz29]

any ideas if beta-blockers would cause a problem with using aas?

Most beta-blockers (e.g. propanolol, metopropolol, etc.) are cardiac medicines used as anti-hypertensives. They would be beneficial in lowering blood pressure.

i take a very low dose of propranolol for anxiety symptoms (palpitations etc).. my heart rate at rest is about 40 bpm.. but usuallly between 50-60 bpm.. is this a safe level to have it at?.. another thing i wanted to ask u guys.. when u are excercising, how fast should your heart go?? ive noticed mine go upto 140 bpm.. and it takes quite a while for it to come back down? also whats a normal resting heart rate??

resting hr doctors say the lower it is the longer you live not too low of course they usally dont want it under 40 and any kind of beta blocker lowers your hr thats why yours is 40 i take atenolo 25mg and my resting hr is 47-49 i also take 5 mg of norvasc i am on my 3rd cycle havent had a prob yet with aas and bloodpressure pills so you will be fine far as that goes...

what about the heart rate when u are execersing?.. is it normal to be as high as 140bpm?

I would not worry. Maximal heart rate (excercise-induced) can reach into high 190's-low 200's.

a resting HR of 40 is not that great. If your asympotomatic then your fine but if you get dizzy and light headed often tell your MD. 30 wont kill you but if a patient comes in with that HR and is dizzy he gets atropine.

i dont have any symptoms at all.. its only at 40 because of the beta blockers.. and thats only when im relaxed and lying down, when i am sat up then its about 55-60

Yes, 40 is a little low for a normal person not on beta-blockers. Is it a true 40? Take your pulse for a full 60 seconds. If you do not become light-headed upon standing, then I would not worry about it because your stroke volume is adequate to perfuse the big nerve in your head. Of course, if you are worried call your doctor, etc.
