Thank you for this info. I’m 68yo and want to (eventually) get off heart meds. Understand I may have to be on heart meds for life but a reduction in dosage would be good too. You’ve explained why I feel so tired the next day after bike rides. I do 20 miles (min) and want to ride more miles. Looking forward to your next vid. Again, Thanks.
Appreciate this video: I’ve been on beta blockers for quite some time and wondered why would rarely get in peak and cardio range according to Fitbit. Managed to get heart rate in the 120’s doing 300 kettlebell swings: 71 year old with titanium mitral valve and pacemaker/defibrillator., carnivore.
Nick, thank you for this series of videos. excellent. Reading comment below, I see comment pertaining to tiredness and muscle aches being side effects. I shall look further into the muscle aches. 👌
I am on metropole and absolutely flog myself during cycle spin classes and pump classes at the gym and i am always tired afterwords -you have explained why as i had no idea about this lower heart rate-i almost and if not at Bradycardia level of very low BPM
I am a sustain level. At resting my heart is at 114. And I've had 2 ablations for SVT. Have an arrhythmia now (skipped heart beats) amd he found some SVT again while wearing a heart monitor. So I'm on Carvedilol 6.25 twice a day. I weigh 290 lbs after 2 babies, in 2 years. I really need to lose weight😔. I was on metropolol for 3 years, but my cardiologist switched me.
My gen 2 beta blocker (Metoprolol) seems to be affecting my metabolism and it's harder to lose weight. I've heard gen 3 beta blockers eliminate the effects on metabolism somehow, but it's hard to find any research on the topic.
I used to delay taking my beta blockers until after going cycling which can be 50k up to 100k so my heart rate can increase to get speed and more maintained power but after watching your video I don't think it was wise to delay it but thinking about it I don't think there's much difference in power and speed with a reduced heart rate after experimenting, even though with beta blockers I'd get 50 bpm up to 130 bpm whereas delaying it would get to 150+, this is using 2.5 of bisoprolol, an hour after exercise my blood pressure would drop to around 113/54 whereas before exercise it would be a little high....thanks for the video
Hello,I have a ICD was at the gym the other day and I was on a machine similar to the Nordic track Front drive series was using it for a month for 15 min, yesterday my ICD shock me and threw me off the machine after 12 min, was I going to hard. My meds was change to SOTALOL HCL80 mg .My doctor told me to keep doing my exercise. Any Advice you can give me .. Thank-you
I started taking nebivolol 2.5mg yesterday and I normally take a nap 😴 during the day I noticed my heart rate is to low 50's it wakes me, it feels like heart ❤ is going to stop. I'm so tried of the side effects. 😪
I take Bisoprolol every day because of my high palpitation and blood pressure. I’m used to walking so fast but sometimes because of this drug, I get really bone tired and I feel that I’m climbing a mountain not walking on the ground and my breaths become really hard and fast, in a way that I’m a climber not a person who walks a bit fast.
My doctor just put me on Zebeta. This is the fourth beta blocker for me. I was on metoprolol, Sotolol, and Bystolic. I experienced varying side effects with them. From depression, to erectile dysfunction, and mood swings. He prescribed bisoprolol for me recently and the first few days were great. My mood perked up, I felt vigorous, my breathing was even better. But lately I’ve been experiencing muscle cramps, and dehydration. Idk how to feel about these medications. I wanna exercise but any physical activity feels laborious now. The honeymoon phase with Zebeta is over😂
I would follow up with your family doctor. Normally this medication does not cause muscle cramping or dehydration. Depending on if your're taking other medications it could be leading to some of these symptoms.
I used to take Propranolol for Anxiety before exams/tests, I clearly noticed that I performed dozen times better when I took it as compared to when I entered hall anxious. It was as if I couldn’t feel any fear which is due to Anti-Sympathetic activity of Beta-Blockers. But, I never had any side effects as told by various gentlemen/ladies in the comment section. Rather, I used to feel more energetic and focussed after taking Propanolol.
@@ibrahimkhalif83 i mean youll most likely die early in life if yu stop takin them 🤨your on them for a reason something is either wrong with your heart or your bp
Thank you for making this video it was very helpful. I to would like to be off the beta blockers that have been prescribed for me, some days the fatigue and sore muscles are overwhelming and cause me sometimes to feel depressed. Since being diagnosed with CHF four years ago I’ve manage to shed over one hundred pounds and my Afid is under control since my ablation procedure. My Injection Fraction is between 25 and 30. My question is will my BP rise if I am no longer on the Beta Blockers and is there an alternative medication that will do what the Beta Blocker do without these awful side effects. Thank you for your wisdom. Lalo Franco
The beta blocker has more of an effect on lowering heart rate, and in effect, will also lower blood pressure. So you may see blood pressure changes if you come off this medication. My suggestion would be to speak with your doctor to discuss the side effects and see if there are alternatives. Your doctor has a clear understanding of your medical history, so they would be the best person to decide which medications are best for you.
So Glad for you my hair is so thin now I am on 10mg a day and I have been told to loose weight then I can get off the propanalol so I’m working to get it off lost 6 lbs so far😊
i use them for social anxiety 10 mg before any social event, 10 mg a hour before and lasts for 4 hours and i only use it like twice a week i have severe social anxiety the feeling of butterlfies in my stomach heart beats really quick where i cant catch my breath i get super anxious my brain goes blank my face gets stiff and starts twiching and blushing and then i feel fear goosbumbs everywhere thats whenever im around alot of people it ruin my life and job and school but my doc was like try this before any social activity and i was like huu a pill i did it and it changed my life wow holy crab i only take 10 mg and i think its kinda cool where u dont feel ur heart rate going so high cause all my life ive been having anxiety and im use to heart palputations so having a slow heart rate is pretty cool even in exercising people need to know their body is still getting worked regardless if their breathing or not if uve been training for years u should already understand ur body and know when its to much or to little screw ur heart rate
Hi Nick, I will be graduating soon with a BS in EXphys and seeking employment as an Exercise physio in a cardiac rehab center. Where have you learned this pharm knowledge and knowledge on other topics such as EKG reading? I feel somewhat undergunned going into a clinical field without much of a clinical education.
I learned about these topics while I was studying to become an ACSM certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist. The textbook that was recommended covers these topics. I'll attach a link below so you can review the certification process. www.acsm.org/certification/get-certified/clinical-exercise-physiologist?gclid=CjwKCAiA6Y2QBhAtEiwAGHybPV105f8Ulla4QOhILqmUwWfHPyzEGaxH811Y_3u7jGLv7wWRVAgw-RoCLeMQAvD_BwE
I have just had a mitral valve repair 8 weeks ago. I was put on bisoprolol 2.5 mg. You have to take these seriously. I have just had a rebound as took it in evening instead of morning after quite an active day. Scared the hell out of me as I thought I was having a stroke. Went to A&E and got the all clear. Nevertheless, I wonder if I would be better off the beta blocker altogether. Research seems to indicate blockers don’t really extend life or reduce stroke risk. I feel trapped by it and would like to return to exercise and weight training when I can.
@@trippingonfaith7094 The research I have seen doesn’t say they don’t work. They clearly do lower heart rate and blood pressure. It says the evidence doesn’t support the fact that beta blockers extend life or prevent stroke. Just google for info. I’m terrified not to take mine now. It has been over three months since my op and I have still not had a consultation with my cardiologist. I am on a waiting list. I have started exercising and I feel ok. Don’t know how I would feel without bisoprolol. Side effects now are minor dizziness. I otherwise seem to have got used to it. There is a retired doctor I work with who has had a bypass. He says he is very intolerant of bisoprolol and 0.25 mg per day is his max or he is too dizzy. I was told 2.5 mg is a baby dose which it clearly isn’t. Everyone reacts differently. I think you have to speak to your doctor. Coming off this stuff isn’t easy and shouldn’t be done suddenly. My rebound experience was lesson enough. I’m just going to wait til I can finally get proper medical advice. Good luck!
I had a mitral valve repair too in June and they also put me on at 50 mg a day of Metoprolol. In my case I think they are taking a wait and see approach and using it as a temporary stopgap measure to keep me from going into AFIB, As I am at risk of that given that my left atrium dilated. They're hoping that it remodels somewhat and to see if they could take me off then. Are you still on them?
@@kennethsouthard6042 I’m still on 2.5mg per day. I take it the same time every day. To be honest I’ve never felt better, back in the gym etc, blood pressure is good. I think I feel the odd bit of afib, but the episodes are getting less frequent. When I finally saw my cardiologist after around 8 months he suggested he would have my GP reduce the dose and see how it goes. I’ve not heard from GP as yet, but I suppose I will have to go with it and try. I suspect my BP will go up, but if they can safely wean me off then I suppose I’m better off.
I've been taking metoprolol for about 3 weeks or so now because I had what they called an SVT . I am still frieking out over it. I want to get back to the gym but I am scared and i do not know how long i need to be on this . I have anxiety and i think this medicine may be mking it worsw but am not sure . it could just be my thinking that is making it worse. can somebody please give me some advice and help me out a little bit here?
Thanks for the question Kimberly. An SVT is a type of arrhythmia and your doctor has properly put you on a medication that will help control this. In terms of how long you will be on the medication it is a good discussion to have with your doctor. In terms of exercise I would suggest being referred by your family physician to a cardiac rehab program where they can safely prescribe an exercise prescription for you and monitor your heart rhythm as you exercise. This will allow you to be in a controlled setting while being monitored. You can have your questions answered by the staff and continue to build confidence as you return to exercise. Hopefully this helps.
Hi…21M i have been prescribed with 12.5 metoprolol once a day bcoz i had panic attacks… i didnt start yet… i am really worried and unsure of the withdrawal symptoms… it seems like it will get much worse on the day of withdrawal…
Is it safe to drink on Beta Blockers? Thinking about going on a low slow release dose for blood pressure/anxiety. Most websites just say “limit” your alcohol use. What does that really mean?
I’m on beta blockers” goat 160 heart rate on the tread mill ( 15 incline- max- 9.5 mph then half court basket ball “ ( had heart failure) 10 years ago ) over the road trucker go figure” 20 days out of a month I keep my calories to 1500 max currently 5’ 9 227
Unless otherwise told by your doctor, you are able to perform weight lifting on beta blockers. Speak with a clinical exercise physiologist regarding the correct reps and sets based on your medical history.
This is one of the potential side effects of beta blockers. If it makes you tired to the point where you cannot complete your day too day tasks, you should speak with your doctor as they may need to adjust the dose of the medication.
@@nextgenrehab Yes that's exactly how I feel. Unfortunately in my case, this is the lowest dose possible. So I have to find a way to overcome it. I heard it is because there is a lack of blood flow to the body, since the heart is pumping less blood, is this true? And if so, would increasing blood flow through something like cialis for example, potentially help?
@@GregoryCampbellSwag Beta blockers reduce heart rate, so if you resting pulse is getting too low, this may be why you feel fatigued. I would speak with your doctor on specific ways to overcome this before taking other medications on your own.
Exercise. Oddly exercise begets exercise. If I sit around too much I feel worse, if I do just 35 mins of cycling I have more energy find an exercise and diet routine that works for you
I take 10mg propranolol. Recently added 25 mg losartan. I feel like exercising is hard now. I'm thinking about coming off the propranolol and adding nebivolol. Does nebivolol have an anti anxiety effect as well? And can I just stop the propranolol and start taking nebivolol? Or do I need to taper myself
The medication type and dose would come down to your medical history. I'd suggest for you to talk with your family doctor or pharmacist regarding the adjustments.
I can't seem to find an answer for this anywhere so I'm just going to start asking around. I have high blood pressure and I have a timed run test approaching. I always get extremely fatigued during the test and my heart rate goes through the roof. Would a beta blocker help me feel less fatigued during the test and help my performance or would they hinder my performance? Or maybe something that thins the blood like asprin would be better?
Hi Tyler thanks for your question. You do not need to take either a beta blocker or blood thinners unless they have been prescribed to you by your doctor. From what it sounds like, the extreme fatigue and spike in heart rate is most likely due to deconditioning. I would recommend setting a regiment to help train your cardiovascular system to be able to tolerate longer runs. Over time your heart will become more efficient at circulating blood through your body and begin to beat at a lower rate at a given workload. As for you blood pressure check it at different times of the day to make sure it is elevated above normal. Try lifestyle changes like diet, weight loss and exercise to help control the blood pressure. If these strategies don't work then speak with your doctor on potential medications you can take to help control the blood pressure.
So why does my heart rate still get up to 170 on 25mg twice a day while interval training. I did take it easy since it did that of course. But wondering why? No reply from my cardio yet as he’s busy or not concerned I assume
It's hard to say without knowing the full medical history. Having a stress test while taking the beta blocker would be something you should bring up with your cardiologist. This way you can determine if your heart rate is appropriately going up and coming down without any abnormalities.
I nick I'm on carvedilol for benign ectopic beats, resting heart rate 52 max heart rate 155, extremely fit, in your opinion am I safe to work at my max heart rate for extended periods of time? As I feel fine when I do and feel like I could run at that pace for long periods, max heart rate off beta blockers 180💪👌
I would suggest you ask your cardiologist to have you do a stress test. This way, you can exert to your maximum and see if the ectopic beats present more frequently or stay the same. Using this info, you'll be able to better predict how hard to push yourself.
Just weened off the metroprolol that I really don’t think I needed. Doc put me on it as a precaution after I I stopped my 8 can a day Red Bull habit and went to the hospital freaking out with chest pains. I had stopped the Red Bull completely for 2 Days and I think my body was just detoxing. They ran the gambit of tests and didn’t find anything wrong at the hospital That was 8 months ago and since I have gotten into the best shape of my life and getting better. Once I weened myself down to about 7 mg a day I noticed that my heart rate is now functioning much better when I’m on the treadmill. As I work harder and need more oxygen my heart rate goes up to sustain it and I don’t feel like I’m out of breath the whole time. This could be in part to me just getting more efficient but the difference is pretty amazing
Hey Mark, glad to hear your keeping yourself active ! That is the toughest thing people find with beta blockers as it doesn't allow the heart rate to increase. As long as you feel comfortable exercising and can maintain a moderate pace without any symptoms or shortness of breathe your in good shape. And definitely as you increase workload and your body adapts to it, you become more efficient and moving oxygen around your body which means your heart doesn't need to work as hard. Keep up the good work!
I am a smoker and i don't intend to quit smoking but i am prescribed on beta blockers for anxiety and does it affect smoking and betw blockers do have any effect?
I'm on Metoprolol and I'm constantly short of breath when exercising. I live in a rural area, and as far as I know, there are no experts who can help me find a workout rate. Any ideas?
Try reducing your exercise intensity and see if this helps. Exercise at a moderate pace where you can still talk but not sing. If the shortness of breath continues, you should follow up with your doctor.
@@hencape you don't necessarily need to be huffing and puffing for the benefits. Being able to train at a moderate intensity (you can still talk) allows you to maintain a longer duration without putting to much strain on the heart while still getting the benefits. If you're always trying to train to maximum and maintain that, its hard to sustain and you put a lot of extra stress on the heart, especially if your experiencing symptoms. I work as a exercise physiologist, not a doctor. Hopefully this helps.
My propranolol is 60mg and my amlodipine is 5mg is it safe and okay to take together I really need help on this I be very afraid to take them both I just need to know if that’s okay?
I would advise you to follow up with your doctor as they would be the ones who prescribed the medication. However, keep track of your blood pressure and heart rate. If you notice they are getting quite low, or you experience an increase in dizziness, then your doctor will most likely need to adjust your dosage of medication.
Since I don't know your full medical history, you should follow up with your family doctor about this. However, you should be able to train boxing while taking beta blockers. Remember, don't expect your heart rate to go to high while on this medication. You want to train in a range where you can still say a full sentence before having to take a breathe. If you can only say 1-2 words, you're pushing yourself too hard.
Sir I just came off from my beta blocker Bisoprolol fumarate,which was prescribed initially by my doc as a result of my palps and pressure,But as my hair line started to recede after taking that,I was given Ivabrad -5 mg now It's almost 7-days to go,And I am feeling that my BP and palps are getting very high even after taking the antihypertensives,I just wanna ask could this be the beta blockers rebound effect?Will this go away within 1-2 weeks after?I don't wanna take those beta blockers once again ...😥
It would be best to speak with your family doctor. They have a thorough understanding of your medical history and could go over why you are experiencing the high blood pressure and palpitations.
@@nextgenrehab But sir saddest part of all is that no cardiologist warns us beforehand about the side effects of any medication before taking them....My beta blockers journey was very good though, leaving the part of my hair thinning and constipation,it used to make me feel very relaxed🙌...I have confidence my hairs will grow once again as Now I am on telma ct and ivabrad😎....Beta blockers Rebound effects is also gradually decreasing...I'm happy with my palps as I can control it with deep breathing exercises and cardio's.....AND GUYS WHO ARE READING THIS COMMENT,PLSS DON'T GO TO CARDIOLOGIST IMMEDIATELY UNLESS ITS EMERGENCY,PLSS TAKE AYURVEDIC OR HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES THAT ARE WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS....DO YOGA AND DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES.....🙏...DO ANYTHING THAT ELEVATES UR DOPAMINE LEVELS💯
I've been on Bisoprolol for 4 months and my hair is thinning noticeably for the last month or so; I've not mentioned it in my list of side-effects as I'll be told it's "common in women your age". Thank you for mentioning it, I'm sure it's the meds.
It seems like what you are saying is regardless of the amount of exercise and improvement in cardiovascular health a person obtains, reversing the physical conditions that probably led to the high blood pressure to begin with, they should still use a beta blocker? I'm sorry but I'm confused.
The beta blocker does impact blood pressure, but has more of an impact on lowering heart rate. I made an updated video regarding beta blockers you can watch below. czcams.com/video/SNHqNqY8BKg/video.html
Feeling short of breathe on 10mg of propranolol twice daily. Should I begin to ween off. I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow anyway. Just wondering if you or anyone had shortness of breathe at rest as a symptom.
I have a question will i loose less calories from exercise if i am on a betta blocker due to the decrease or limited heart rate i can reach or is it unrelated?
@@nextgenrehab But in order to be in a fat burning zone you would have to work harder because the beta blocker lower your blood pressure. So I have my age, menopause and beta blocker working against me losing weight. In order to lose weight I need to focus on building muscle mass and working on my diet because doing cardio is not going work. This is horrible.
You would need to consider a few things like the dose of the medication and how sensitive your body is to the medication (how low does it keep your heart rate with exercise). Since this medication will be lowering your heart rate and preventing it from getting too high, to get a clear idea of how hard to push yourself, I would consider having a stress test done. This test can determine a safe training range and target heart rate for you. Because your heart rate won't be going as high as it was previous to taking this medication, focus on how you feel. Continue to use the talk test "can I talk while exercising" and don't overdo it to the point of exhaustion (where you're gasping for air and can't talk." If you still have questions, I would bring it up with your family doctor as they have your medical history.
@@gauti0811 hi! I took 10 mg and usually one would help me, sometimes 2 if needed. I took them only as needed to help w the physical symptoms of panic attacks. After a few months didn’t need them anymore , now they only come during super high stress.🙏
How do I come off 25mg of metoprolol? My cardiologist said to stop cold turkey and I had withdrawals. I want to wean off but don't know how. My pharmacist won't help me either 😢
It's hard to answer this question since I do not know your medical history. I would have you go back to your cardiologist and let them know the symptoms you are having. Your cardiologist will be able to let you know how to safely lower the dose.
Never stop cold turkey I had a heart attack doing so. Well my blood wrk said I didn't but they said not one actually. But my heart beat our my chest daily. Till it finally settled dwn. I take 19 mg bystolic now an get sob . I hate it
This is typically not advised. Try alternative techniques like deep breathing or box breathing to help relax the nerves of the child. I've included a video in this below. m.czcams.com/video/P4uKMnOVDkQ/video.html&pp=ygUYTmV4dCBnZW4gcmVoYWIgYnJlYXRoaW5n
Terrible for bodybuilding then? Obviously I only take mine now when I am attending something stressful but I will take a wide birth anywhere around a workout day.
Hi! I was prescribed Propranalol 10 mg up to 3 x a day for anxiety but i haven't even taken it yet! Can i try taking 5 mg to see how it does? I have social anxiety and performance anxiety really bad to where it has affected my life!! I was wondering if i took Propranolol only as needed like 7 - 10 times per month would this cause the weight gain they say can happen? I would think that it would not cause metabolic problems if you weren't taking it on a daily basis but i could be wrong! I have been reading this is a miracle drug! 😊
I’m on 25mg of atenolol because I have hyperthyroidism. I’m 39 and when I work out I usually can’t get my heart rate over 115. The only time I can is if I go jogging. I got my heart rate to 145. I want to get off of this drug. I have an appointment with my endocrinologist on 1/30/23. My vo2 max on my Apple Watch always says that I’m below average. That’s because of this drug right?
Yes the atenolol will suppress your heart rate when you are exercising. The Apple Watch is taking into account your age for someone not on a beta blocker, so it will not be reliable to give you a VO2max or a target heart rate. I would recommend you speak with your endocrinologist or cardiologist to set up a stress test or a VO2max test (known as a cardiopulmonary exercise test). This will give you a better idea of your VO2max and target heart rate if you remain on the beta blocker.
Thank you for replying back! I’m hoping I can just come off of it. I hate taking drugs 🤦♀️ It’s just frustrating because I don’t think I’m that out of shape for my age.

Think about askin my doctor to get on beta blockers because in my work place we work hard an my heart rate goes up but I also suffer from Anxiety so my hurt rate get worse is betta blockers a good medication to take
It's a good conversation to have with your doctor. If it's anxiety that's causing the rise in heart rate maybe start with techniques like deep breathing to help manage the fast heart rate. But discussing this with your doctor is the best option, especially if your resting heart rate is elevated in the 90's or 100's.
@@nextgenrehab Question: Before getting on beta blockers for pvcs. Would u say to try it the natural way first like clean eating, take in right dose of magnesium and potassium on a daily etc…? I’ve heard magnesium helps a lot with pvcs and ectopics us that true? Just asking bcuz I’ll prefer trying natural first vs the meds that can have side effects.
@@sclark7577 It would come down to the frequency of PVC's and if you get symptoms like dizziness when they happen. You should speak with your cardiologist to see if you can have a holter monitor done to determine the frequency of PVC's. From here, you and your cardiologist can decide if going on medications is the best option for you.
@@nextgenrehab just did the monitor for a week. He read it and said it’s just pvcs and said it’s nothing but if I want to he can try me on metoprolol but I’m going to try it more naturally bcuz those meds cause so many side effects. Bout to go back to my clean eating and up my magnesium, potassium and electrolytes in take bcuz I work out hard and I haven’t been put them back at all
It comes down to your medical history and why you are on the beta blocker. If you are not experiencing any dizziness or excess fatigue, there should not be an issue. Bring it up with your family doctor next time you see them.
@@nextgenrehab : I have palpatation and anxiety.. It's just been 4 days now.. Had slow pulse and little breathing issue but i guess breathing is better.. I did check with doctor he said it's normal and stop checking pulse.
I like BB, makes me feel very relaxed and calm, and the BP down too. So why do many people here do hard physical exercise AND BB combined? No need for that IMO, you're probably very fit then, and the BP should be low. If not, eat some garlic, take Magnesium, lots of stuff you can do..
Thank you for this info.

I used to delay taking my beta blockers until after going cycling which can be 50k up to 100k so my heart rate can increase to get speed and more maintained power but after watching your video I don't think it was wise to delay it but thinking about it I don't think there's much difference in power and speed with a reduced heart rate after experimenting, even though with beta blockers I'd get 50 bpm up to 130 bpm whereas delaying it would get to 150+, this is using 2.5 of bisoprolol, an hour after exercise my blood pressure would drop to around 113/54 whereas before exercise it would be a little high....thanks for the video
Hello,I have a ICD was at the gym the other day and I was on a machine similar to the Nordic track Front drive series was using it for a month for 15 min, yesterday my ICD shock me and threw me off the machine after 12 min, was I going to hard. My meds was change to SOTALOL HCL80 mg .My doctor told me to keep doing my exercise. Any Advice you can give me .. Thank-you
I started taking nebivolol 2.5mg yesterday and I normally take a nap 😴 during the day I noticed my heart rate is to low 50's it wakes me, it feels like heart ❤ is going to stop. I'm so tried of the side effects. 😪
I take Bisoprolol every day because of my high palpitation and blood pressure. I’m used to walking so fast but sometimes because of this drug, I get really bone tired and I feel that I’m climbing a mountain not walking on the ground and my breaths become really hard and fast, in a way that I’m a climber not a person who walks a bit fast.
Why do you have palpitations ?
My doctor just put me on Zebeta.
This is the fourth beta blocker for me.
I was on metoprolol, Sotolol, and Bystolic.
I experienced varying side effects with them. From depression, to erectile dysfunction, and mood swings. He prescribed bisoprolol for me recently and the first few days were great. My mood perked up, I felt vigorous, my breathing was even better. But lately I’ve been experiencing muscle cramps, and dehydration. Idk how to feel about these medications. I wanna exercise but any physical activity feels laborious now. The honeymoon phase with Zebeta is over😂
I would follow up with your family doctor. Normally this medication does not cause muscle cramping or dehydration. Depending on if your're taking other medications it could be leading to some of these symptoms.
I have the same problem.when I’m taking the stairs I get muscle cramps.before taking bisoprolol (1.25mg)I didn’t have this issue.
@@andreialexandrucirnaru8731 yeah. I stopped taking it. Best decision ever. But tell your doctor about your issues.
I used to take Propranolol for Anxiety before exams/tests, I clearly noticed that I performed dozen times better when I took it as compared to when I entered hall anxious. It was as if I couldn’t feel any fear which is due to Anti-Sympathetic activity of Beta-Blockers. But, I never had any side effects as told by various gentlemen/ladies in the comment section. Rather, I used to feel more energetic and focussed after taking Propanolol.
@@ibrahimkhalif83 i mean youll most likely die early in life if yu stop takin them 🤨your on them for a reason something is either wrong with your heart or your bp
Thank you for making this video it was very helpful. I to would like to be off the beta blockers that have been prescribed for me, some days the fatigue and sore muscles are overwhelming and cause me sometimes to feel depressed. Since being diagnosed with CHF four years ago I’ve manage to shed over one hundred pounds and my Afid is under control since my ablation procedure. My Injection Fraction is between 25 and 30. My question is will my BP rise if I am no longer on the Beta Blockers and is there an alternative medication that will do what the Beta Blocker do without these awful side effects. Thank you for your wisdom.

The beta blocker has more of an effect on lowering heart rate, and in effect, will also lower blood pressure. So you may see blood pressure changes if you come off this medication. My suggestion would be to speak with your doctor to discuss the side effects and see if there are alternatives. Your doctor has a clear understanding of your medical history, so they would be the best person to decide which medications are best for you.
So Glad for you my hair is so thin now I am on 10mg a day and I have been told to loose weight then I can get off the propanalol so I’m working to get it off lost 6 lbs so far😊
i use them for social anxiety 10 mg before any social event, 10 mg a hour before and lasts for 4 hours and i only use it like twice a week i have severe social anxiety the feeling of butterlfies in my stomach heart beats really quick where i cant catch my breath i get super anxious
my brain goes blank my face gets stiff and starts twiching and blushing and then i feel fear goosbumbs everywhere thats whenever im around alot of people it ruin my life and job and school but my doc was like try this before any social activity and i was like huu a pill i did it and it changed my life wow holy crab i only take 10 mg and i think its kinda cool where u dont feel ur heart rate going so high cause all my life ive been having anxiety and im use to heart palputations so having a slow heart rate is pretty cool even in exercising people need to know their body is still getting worked regardless if their breathing or not if uve been training for years u should already understand ur body and know when its to much or to little screw ur heart rate
Hi Nick,
I will be graduating soon with a BS in EXphys and seeking employment as an Exercise physio in a cardiac rehab center. Where have you learned this pharm knowledge and knowledge on other topics such as EKG reading? I feel somewhat undergunned going into a clinical field without much of a clinical education.
I learned about these topics while I was studying to become an ACSM certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist. The textbook that was recommended covers these topics. I'll attach a link below so you can review the certification process.

I take 10 mg for my heart rate was messed up from a different medicine I really want to get of it my hair has become so thin 😢😢
I have just had a mitral valve repair 8 weeks ago. I was put on bisoprolol 2.5 mg. You have to take these seriously. I have just had a rebound as took it in evening instead of morning after quite an active day. Scared the hell out of me as I thought I was having a stroke. Went to A&E and got the all clear. Nevertheless, I wonder if I would be better off the beta blocker altogether. Research seems to indicate blockers don’t really extend life or reduce stroke risk. I feel trapped by it and would like to return to exercise and weight training when I can.
This would be a great discussion to have with you cardiologist.
I feel the same way do you have any links to your research about them not working
@@trippingonfaith7094 The research I have seen doesn’t say they don’t work. They clearly do lower heart rate and blood pressure. It says the evidence doesn’t support the fact that beta blockers extend life or prevent stroke. Just google for info. I’m terrified not to take mine now. It has been over three months since my op and I have still not had a consultation with my cardiologist. I am on a waiting list.
I have started exercising and I feel ok. Don’t know how I would feel without bisoprolol. Side effects now are minor dizziness. I otherwise seem to have got used to it.
There is a retired doctor I work with who has had a bypass. He says he is very intolerant of bisoprolol and 0.25 mg per day is his max or he is too dizzy. I was told 2.5 mg is a baby dose which it clearly isn’t. Everyone reacts differently.
I think you have to speak to your doctor. Coming off this stuff isn’t easy and shouldn’t be done suddenly. My rebound experience was lesson enough. I’m just going to wait til I can finally get proper medical advice. Good luck!
I had a mitral valve repair too in June and they also put me on at 50 mg a day of Metoprolol.
In my case I think they are taking a wait and see approach and using it as a temporary stopgap measure to keep me from going into AFIB, As I am at risk of that given that my left atrium dilated. They're hoping that it remodels somewhat and to see if they could take me off then.
Are you still on them?
@@kennethsouthard6042 I’m still on 2.5mg per day. I take it the same time every day. To be honest I’ve never felt better, back in the gym etc, blood pressure is good. I think I feel the odd bit of afib, but the episodes are getting less frequent. When I finally saw my cardiologist after around 8 months he suggested he would have my GP reduce the dose and see how it goes. I’ve not heard from GP as yet, but I suppose I will have to go with it and try. I suspect my BP will go up, but if they can safely wean me off then I suppose I’m better off.
I've been taking metoprolol for about 3 weeks or so now because I had what they called an SVT . I am still frieking out over it. I want to get back to the gym but I am scared and i do not know how long i need to be on this . I have anxiety and i think this medicine may be mking it worsw but am not sure . it could just be my thinking that is making it worse. can somebody please give me some advice and help me out a little bit here?
Thanks for the question Kimberly. An SVT is a type of arrhythmia and your doctor has properly put you on a medication that will help control this. In terms of how long you will be on the medication it is a good discussion to have with your doctor. In terms of exercise I would suggest being referred by your family physician to a cardiac rehab program where they can safely prescribe an exercise prescription for you and monitor your heart rhythm as you exercise. This will allow you to be in a controlled setting while being monitored. You can have your questions answered by the staff and continue to build confidence as you return to exercise. Hopefully this helps.
I feel the same man I get out of bed to walk around and my heart goes to 105 or 99 and I'm like wtf and even when I want to have sex I get scared man
Are you still on Metoprolol? What’s your dosage?
Waking and core exercises might be best for me at my stsge ..
Hi…21M i have been prescribed with 12.5 metoprolol once a day bcoz i had panic attacks… i didnt start yet… i am really worried and unsure of the withdrawal symptoms… it seems like it will get much worse on the day of withdrawal…
good day sir how can i overcome my stamina when taking a beta blocker im a cyclist? pls. sir thank you very much
Is it safe to drink on Beta Blockers? Thinking about going on a low slow release dose for blood pressure/anxiety. Most websites just say “limit” your alcohol use. What does that really mean?
I would check with your family doctor or pharmacist.
I’m on beta blockers” goat 160 heart rate on the tread mill ( 15 incline- max- 9.5 mph then half court basket ball “ ( had heart failure) 10 years ago ) over the road trucker go figure” 20 days out of a month I keep my calories to 1500 max currently 5’ 9 227

Will weight lifting be ok on beta blockers? Obviously with running your BPM needs to get quite high but I’m not sure weights does as much.
Unless otherwise told by your doctor, you are able to perform weight lifting on beta blockers. Speak with a clinical exercise physiologist regarding the correct reps and sets based on your medical history.
@@nextgenrehab Ahh awesome thanks for the response :)
Guess that makes sense that I get light headed/spins when lying down sometimes. Should be the same as geting up quickly, right?
Thanks
Yes if you get up quickly while on this medication, you may start to feel lightheaded/dizziness.
Thanks for this info! When taking Propanalol extended release, it make me feel very tired during the day. How do you combat this?
This is one of the potential side effects of beta blockers. If it makes you tired to the point where you cannot complete your day too day tasks, you should speak with your doctor as they may need to adjust the dose of the medication.
@@nextgenrehab Yes that's exactly how I feel. Unfortunately in my case, this is the lowest dose possible. So I have to find a way to overcome it.
I heard it is because there is a lack of blood flow to the body, since the heart is pumping less blood, is this true? And if so, would increasing blood flow through something like cialis for example, potentially help?
@@GregoryCampbellSwag Beta blockers reduce heart rate, so if you resting pulse is getting too low, this may be why you feel fatigued. I would speak with your doctor on specific ways to overcome this before taking other medications on your own.
Cocaine or methamphetamines really help keep me awake in day and only problem is try to sleep when high as a kite. Damm it's a beetch
Exercise. Oddly exercise begets exercise. If I sit around too much I feel worse, if I do just 35 mins of cycling I have more energy find an exercise and diet routine that works for you
I take 10mg propranolol. Recently added 25 mg losartan. I feel like exercising is hard now. I'm thinking about coming off the propranolol and adding nebivolol. Does nebivolol have an anti anxiety effect as well? And can I just stop the propranolol and start taking nebivolol? Or do I need to taper myself
The medication type and dose would come down to your medical history. I'd suggest for you to talk with your family doctor or pharmacist regarding the adjustments.
I can't seem to find an answer for this anywhere so I'm just going to start asking around. I have high blood pressure and I have a timed run test approaching. I always get extremely fatigued during the test and my heart rate goes through the roof. Would a beta blocker help me feel less fatigued during the test and help my performance or would they hinder my performance? Or maybe something that thins the blood like asprin would be better?
Hi Tyler thanks for your question. You do not need to take either a beta blocker or blood thinners unless they have been prescribed to you by your doctor. From what it sounds like, the extreme fatigue and spike in heart rate is most likely due to deconditioning. I would recommend setting a regiment to help train your cardiovascular system to be able to tolerate longer runs. Over time your heart will become more efficient at circulating blood through your body and begin to beat at a lower rate at a given workload. As for you blood pressure check it at different times of the day to make sure it is elevated above normal. Try lifestyle changes like diet, weight loss and exercise to help control the blood pressure. If these strategies don't work then speak with your doctor on potential medications you can take to help control the blood pressure.
So why does my heart rate still get up to 170 on 25mg twice a day while interval training. I did take it easy since it did that of course. But wondering why? No reply from my cardio yet as he’s busy or not concerned I assume
It's hard to say without knowing the full medical history. Having a stress test while taking the beta blocker would be something you should bring up with your cardiologist. This way you can determine if your heart rate is appropriately going up and coming down without any abnormalities.
WHY WOULD A PERSONAL DIAGNOSE WITH" RABDO " carvedilol 6.25mg tab.
I nick I'm on carvedilol for benign ectopic beats, resting heart rate 52 max heart rate 155, extremely fit, in your opinion am I safe to work at my max heart rate for extended periods of time? As I feel fine when I do and feel like I could run at that pace for long periods, max heart rate off beta blockers 180💪👌
I would suggest you ask your cardiologist to have you do a stress test. This way, you can exert to your maximum and see if the ectopic beats present more frequently or stay the same. Using this info, you'll be able to better predict how hard to push yourself.
Just weened off the metroprolol that I really don’t think I needed. Doc put me on it as a precaution after I I stopped my 8 can a day Red Bull habit and went to the hospital freaking out with chest pains. I had stopped the Red Bull completely for 2 Days and I think my body was just detoxing. They ran the gambit of tests and didn’t find anything wrong at the hospital
That was 8 months ago and since I have gotten into the best shape of my life and getting better. Once I weened myself down to about 7 mg a day I noticed that my heart rate is now functioning much better when I’m on the treadmill. As I work harder and need more oxygen my heart rate goes up to sustain it and I don’t feel like I’m out of breath the whole time. This could be in part to me just getting more efficient but the difference is pretty amazing
Hey Mark, glad to hear your keeping yourself active ! That is the toughest thing people find with beta blockers as it doesn't allow the heart rate to increase. As long as you feel comfortable exercising and can maintain a moderate pace without any symptoms or shortness of breathe your in good shape. And definitely as you increase workload and your body adapts to it, you become more efficient and moving oxygen around your body which means your heart doesn't need to work as hard. Keep up the good work!
I am a smoker and i don't intend to quit smoking but i am prescribed on beta blockers for anxiety and does it affect smoking and betw blockers do have any effect?
Same and afraid to take it and Busbar but my bp IS high they say anxiety cause.
I'm on Metoprolol and I'm constantly short of breath when exercising. I live in a rural area, and as far as I know, there are no experts who can help me find a workout rate. Any ideas?
Try reducing your exercise intensity and see if this helps. Exercise at a moderate pace where you can still talk but not sing. If the shortness of breath continues, you should follow up with your doctor.
@@nextgenrehab Hi Doctor, if I'm not huffing and puffing I don't feel like the exercise is being beneficial.
@@hencape you don't necessarily need to be huffing and puffing for the benefits. Being able to train at a moderate intensity (you can still talk) allows you to maintain a longer duration without putting to much strain on the heart while still getting the benefits. If you're always trying to train to maximum and maintain that, its hard to sustain and you put a lot of extra stress on the heart, especially if your experiencing symptoms. I work as a exercise physiologist, not a doctor. Hopefully this helps.
My propranolol is 60mg and my amlodipine is 5mg is it safe and okay to take together I really need help on this I be very afraid to take them both I just need to know if that’s okay?
I would advise you to follow up with your doctor as they would be the ones who prescribed the medication. However, keep track of your blood pressure and heart rate. If you notice they are getting quite low, or you experience an increase in dizziness, then your doctor will most likely need to adjust your dosage of medication.
@@nextgenrehab I be already a little drained off 5mg from the amlodipine not so light headed though I haven’t started the propranolol
Can you do boxing 🥊 fully on beta blockers ? Answer please
Since I don't know your full medical history, you should follow up with your family doctor about this. However, you should be able to train boxing while taking beta blockers. Remember, don't expect your heart rate to go to high while on this medication. You want to train in a range where you can still say a full sentence before having to take a breathe. If you can only say 1-2 words, you're pushing yourself too hard.
Sir I just came off from my beta blocker Bisoprolol fumarate,which was prescribed initially by my doc as a result of my palps and pressure,But as my hair line started to recede after taking that,I was given Ivabrad -5 mg now It's almost 7-days to go,And I am feeling that my BP and palps are getting very high even after taking the antihypertensives,I just wanna ask could this be the beta blockers rebound effect?Will this go away within 1-2 weeks after?I don't wanna take those beta blockers once again ...😥
It would be best to speak with your family doctor. They have a thorough understanding of your medical history and could go over why you are experiencing the high blood pressure and palpitations.
@@nextgenrehab But sir saddest part of all is that no cardiologist warns us beforehand about the side effects of any medication before taking them....My beta blockers journey was very good though, leaving the part of my hair thinning and constipation,it used to make me feel very relaxed🙌...I have confidence my hairs will grow once again as Now I am on telma ct and ivabrad😎....Beta blockers Rebound effects is also gradually decreasing...I'm happy with my palps as I can control it with deep breathing exercises and cardio's.....AND GUYS WHO ARE READING THIS COMMENT,PLSS DON'T GO TO CARDIOLOGIST IMMEDIATELY UNLESS ITS EMERGENCY,PLSS TAKE AYURVEDIC OR HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINES THAT ARE WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS....DO YOGA AND DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES.....🙏...DO ANYTHING THAT ELEVATES UR DOPAMINE LEVELS💯
@cheri how are you now
I've been on Bisoprolol for 4 months and my hair is thinning noticeably for the last month or so; I've not mentioned it in my list of side-effects as I'll be told it's "common in women your age". Thank you for mentioning it, I'm sure it's the meds.
It seems like what you are saying is regardless of the amount of exercise and improvement in cardiovascular health a person obtains, reversing the physical conditions that probably led to the high blood pressure to begin with, they should still use a beta blocker? I'm sorry but I'm confused.
The beta blocker does impact blood pressure, but has more of an impact on lowering heart rate. I made an updated video regarding beta blockers you can watch below.

@@nextgenrehab Thank you.
Feeling short of breathe on 10mg of propranolol twice daily. Should I begin to ween off. I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow anyway. Just wondering if you or anyone had shortness of breathe at rest as a symptom.
Hi Josh, yes follow up with your doctor. They may need to adjust your dosage on the medication.
I have a question will i loose less calories from exercise if i am on a betta blocker due to the decrease or limited heart rate i can reach or is it unrelated?
You will still be able to burn an adequate amount of calories even though your heart rate is suppressed due to the beta blocker.
@@nextgenrehab But in order to be in a fat burning zone you would have to work harder because the beta blocker lower your blood pressure. So I have my age, menopause and beta blocker working against me losing weight.
In order to lose weight I need to focus on building muscle mass and working on my diet because doing cardio is not going work. This is horrible.
Go carnivore: Follow Dr Ken Berry and the many carnivore drs and success stories.
I take this for anxiety & panic attacks. Can I do heavy cardio using propanolol?
You would need to consider a few things like the dose of the medication and how sensitive your body is to the medication (how low does it keep your heart rate with exercise). Since this medication will be lowering your heart rate and preventing it from getting too high, to get a clear idea of how hard to push yourself, I would consider having a stress test done. This test can determine a safe training range and target heart rate for you. Because your heart rate won't be going as high as it was previous to taking this medication, focus on how you feel. Continue to use the talk test "can I talk while exercising" and don't overdo it to the point of exhaustion (where you're gasping for air and can't talk." If you still have questions, I would bring it up with your family doctor as they have your medical history.
Do you take it daily and how many dose?
@@nextgenrehab thank you for your response.!! I figured i would only take my medication at night and never before a workout lol 👍🙏

How do I come off 25mg of metoprolol? My cardiologist said to stop cold turkey and I had withdrawals. I want to wean off but don't know how. My pharmacist won't help me either 😢
It's hard to answer this question since I do not know your medical history. I would have you go back to your cardiologist and let them know the symptoms you are having. Your cardiologist will be able to let you know how to safely lower the dose.
Never stop cold turkey I had a heart attack doing so. Well my blood wrk said I didn't but they said not one actually. But my heart beat our my chest daily. Till it finally settled dwn. I take 19 mg bystolic now an get sob . I hate it

I would follow up with your family doctor with these questions. Based on your medical history, they will be able to give you the correct guidance.
Hi there. Did you take it? I was prescribed betalol 1.25 mg , one tab per day because of anxiety. For now it is fine.
I’m on 25mg of atenolol because I have hyperthyroidism. I’m 39 and when I work out I usually can’t get my heart rate over 115. The only time I can is if I go jogging. I got my heart rate to 145. I want to get off of this drug. I have an appointment with my endocrinologist on 1/30/23. My vo2 max on my Apple Watch always says that I’m below average. That’s because of this drug right?
Yes the atenolol will suppress your heart rate when you are exercising. The Apple Watch is taking into account your age for someone not on a beta blocker, so it will not be reliable to give you a VO2max or a target heart rate. I would recommend you speak with your endocrinologist or cardiologist to set up a stress test or a VO2max test (known as a cardiopulmonary exercise test). This will give you a better idea of your VO2max and target heart rate if you remain on the beta blocker.

It's a good conversation to have with your doctor. If it's anxiety that's causing the rise in heart rate maybe start with techniques like deep breathing to help manage the fast heart rate. But discussing this with your doctor is the best option, especially if your resting heart rate is elevated in the 90's or 100's.

How to stop beta blocker s
You should speak with your family doctor. Based on your medical history, they can answer this question for you.
WHAT IS RABDO
Very bad and dangerous. It’s when your muscles start breaking down, basically.
I take Lisinopril
That's an ACE inhibitor
Beta blockers and ED?
A less common side effect of beta blockers can be ED. If this is something you are experiencing, I would speak with your family doctor.
I like BB, makes me feel very relaxed and calm, and the BP down too. So why do many people here do hard physical exercise AND BB combined? No need for that IMO, you're probably very fit then, and the BP should be low. If not, eat some garlic, take Magnesium, lots of stuff you can do..
