Lightbulb when...

when you lower blood pressure, there can be an increase in heart
rate (to compensate). (but not with beta blockers) Beta blockers block this reflex as you know, you cannot do aerobic exercise past a certain point. You just "shut down".

here is a good article with tons of info to read:

Often when you work out alot the pulse rate will go down, but this requires
some commitment.
