> Makes it more difficult because the beta blocker is keeping your pulse in check but I wouldn't say "no matter how hard". Depends on the type of beta blocker and dose. You may feel a bit faint too, also, depending on the dose.I take a "baby" dose of Atenolol, another beta blocker for my heart and when I do aerobics "The Firm" my pulse does go up! I only take .25mg. at bedtime though. In the morning I take verapamil 250 SR due to having had supraventricular tachycardia. I find that the calcium channel blocker does help with the benzo I take. I've taken this combo for many years now with success.
