Good luck, 49er!

I picked up my stress test report yesterday afternoon. It noted sinus bradycardia with interpretation of treadmill response hypertension. After discussing this with my doc, he switched me off the beta blocker (yea) to a calcium channel blocker Amlodipine 5 mg. I took my first one this morning. I hope this works out better for me.

Thanks M'ohm's,

Good luck with the calcium channel blocker. Hopefully, you won't have any problems with it.
