> Hi Ed,

That's amazing that just one pill can keep your pulse lower for a whole day. Does it just lower the pulse and/or does it keep it at a steady level? When I exercise will my pusle rate go up at all? If not, then there's no benefit to exercising while on a beta blocker, is there?

This morning my pulse rate was 72. I have a feeling my blood pressure was fairly low too. What will a beta blocker do to me during the times when I'd normally have a low pulse rate and blood pressure? Could the beta blocker lower them to a dangerous level?

I read that insomnia is one of the side effects from them as well. I wonder why that is. I'd have thought that preventing a racing heart would help you sleep.
