So I got one of my wallies pulled on Friday afternoon. Long term issue with one of my teeth that another dentist made a hash off. The dentist also prescribed amoxicillin to clear up a little abscess and said that I could also take ibuprofen for 24/48 hours.
Anyway…dumb ass here thinking he was taking ibuprofen manages to take two propranolol on Friday night / Sat morning which my better half takes for PMT headaches. So I read the small print on Sat afternoon when Mrs Rossco points out my stupidity and it’s in essence a beta-blocker which in turn reduces your heart rate / blood pressure.
When doing a stint on my rowing machine yesterday morning I noticed that although I was breathing out my arse my HR seemed a good bit lower than normal. I didn’t think much about it at the time as it’s been at least 2 weeks since I’d last used the rowing machine so I put it down to lack of practise. I then went out this morning for my usual early morning spin and REALLY noticed the effect in that my MHR was at least 20 BPM below what I normally observe. I maxed out at 163 on a tech climb which usually produces 183-5. Other than the lower HR I felt fine and didn’t observe any other obscurities.
I’ll already called the Doc with the query (he’s out at the moment) but has anyone else observed a similar issue when on such meds?
