It occured to me to ask my doc what a normal heart rate was, last time I went. She said 60-90.
I just looked at this website:
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003399.htm
It indicates:

For resting heart rate:
newborn infants; 100 to 160 beats per minute
children 1 to 10 years; 70 to 120 beats per minute
children over 10 and adults; 60 to 100 beats per minute
well-trained athletes; 40 to 60 beats per minute

My blood pressure skyrocked while on Effexor and that's why I had to quit it, but after being prescribed BP med, I have normal BP 120/80 and another month I was at 118/58. The doc said it was good.

As far as Effexor affecting memory and/or concentration, it did me. I beleive the side effect listed is "confusion". I also suffer(ed) from lack of comprehension.

However, I'm 54 and taking other meds which may contribute to the above. I still feel quite incompetant, having been an accountant for over 30 yrs, and I still suffer the lack of concentration/comprehension problems.

Wishing you good health, and pls, do see a doc to check your BP and pulse rate if it gets too high.

Concerned,
mercedes
