bye bye beta blocker

[DebbyA]

I am ridiculously delighted by this. I've been on 2.5 mg bisoprolol for years, was disappointed that I was still prescribed bp meds after surgery. However, I've apparently become active enough (though by no means an athlete) that I don't need it. My resting pulse has been generally 44 and a few times in the upper 30's. The ace inhibitor was also reduced to 5 mg.

Yay, good for you! I was happy when I was taken off my beta blocker as well.

Good for you, Debby! Always a victory to be able to subtract a med. Hope all continues to go well for you.

yeah, I was turning cartwheels at one year post-surgery whn I got my betablocker down to half. Was in at doc the other day, BP was low, so maybe the other half can start going soon, and the BP pills, too Althoug I must admit, I have no problems with either of them, but at 54 years old, the less I need to take, the better - save them for the future when might need them.

My mother is still reluctant to take anything - she was down for the weekend and has a stiff shoulder, and refused a tylenol!
