I am 8 months out from having aortic repair and valve replacement. I'll be turning 48 this year. I have a question about resting heart rate and BP meds. I was on Lopressor after my surgery until about 3 weeks ago. I asked my cardiologist if I could go off them because I felt I was having some negative side effects (weight gain, lethargy). Since stopping my energy if much better and my weight is starting to go down. However, I have noticed that my resting heart rate and blood pressure have started to creep upward. Before stopping the Lopresor my resting heart rate was around 65, now three weeks after stopping it has steadily increased to around 82. Blood pressure was at 110/70 now is 130/85.
Other than wondering about the significance of these numbers I feel great.
What are your resting heart rates and BP? Anyone have any similar experiences?
Thanks!
