Exercise and Propranlol

[leon_telford]

How long should I allow between when I take a pill and I do something? For example play Football or Gym?

Hi leon. Why do you think there might be a problem with excersise and propranolol...did the doc say this or is it something youve discovered yourself? I take this med too and my doc always tells me to excersise as much as i can, but i know the side effects might slow you down a little. Are you having problems with it?

[leon_telford]

Not really, just checking really how long everyone sort of leaves it before they start exercise etc etc

Ive never been told to allow time inbetween, but because betablockers relax the blood vessels and lower blood pressure they can make you feel a bit dizzy. I don't use a gym but i do walk as much as poss. I think you could try and find your own level of exercise, one that suits you and the meds.
