What I have been experiencing over time, as I work out more is that in the morning my HR just will not go as high as in the afternoon. For example, when I worked out on Saturday, around 2:00 to 3:00, I managed to get my HR up to about 140. Then Sunday I rode on the trainer, tough workout but HR maxed at 127. Legs tired out, lots of heavy breathing.
I have noticed this in the past as well but just figured I was tired. That wasn’t the case this past weekend.
As I take my meds in the evening, likely around 9:30 or 10:00 the evening before said 127 HR workout, I started to think that maybe it was the meds that were keeping my HR suppressed.
While I am on other meds, the Beta Blockers were specifically prescribed to keep my HR max down (and they have done that).
I do have an appt with a physician coming up so I’ll ask at that point but thought I’d ask on here first. When I read the literature on Beta Blockers they seem to have a pretty short half life so that somewhat refutes my claim.
I used to only work out in the evenings but am now staring to do some in the mornings (well, other than a few swims but I don’t check HR swimming). So want to be able to keep the same pace in the morning that I do in the afternoon.
