Heart Rate and other tests
I will try these when I get home! My heart rate has been rather low since the accident. The accident and subsequent symptoms have caused an elevated BP (I used to be borderline at 135/75, but now am always elevated, often as high as 190/95). They have me on two BP meds (metoprolol and lisinopril). My resting HR is always around 50 BPM, but only goes up to 120 BPM under heavy exertion. I can ride on my trainer for an hour at 150 watts and never break 110 BPM (seems weird, but I think it is the BP meds). That sort of exertion would have normally had me at 150-160 BPM.
What exactly will the HR test tell me? What should I be looking for?
