Curious to know if any of our athletes notice heart rate issues brought on by exercise? I always wear my heart rate monitor during power walking, stationary bike, and/or running. Two weeks ago my heart rate went into the 170s after about 5 or so minutes of running on the treadmill, I usually make it through the first 30 minutes before I reach 170s. I power walked to bring it down but not sure if I should be concerned. Yesterday, at the Y, I power walked at 3.5 mph for entire workout, noticed my heart rate would be 119, then shoot up into the 140s, settle back down, shoot up again, the treadmill kept telling me to slow down, LOL, my only option is to be placed on a beta blocker and I'm avoiding that like the plague. Afraid my SVT is coming back, had this post op. My checkup is due in April, thinking about calling my cardio sooner rather than later and get checked out. I know, when in doubt, check it out.
So, if you have a similar problem, did your cardio put you on a beta blocker? What dosage are you on? How is the beta blocker affecting your exercise capabilities?
