Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i am taking bisoprolol for svt i am overweight and really want to get fit but each time i go to the gym the treadmill machine slows down to a walking pace after about two minutes because it says my heart rate is too high what type pf wxercise should i do?
Hello Thabks for posting here. Your heart rate tends to be fast as soon as you exercise. Bisoprolol keeps the heart rate under control. You need to walk on the treadmill at slow speeds initially then gradually progress to faster speeds. Due to lack of exercise, the heart is not accustomed to it, hence heart rate increases rapidly when you exercise. Once you do it regularly, the heart rate will start getting under control and your treadmill will not lower its speed automatically. Continue taking bisoprolol. Regards
