Just as an FYI, my BP was very difficult to get under control and I went through a variety of meds before we found a combination that worked. I currently take a daily dose of HCTZ, Amlodipine, and Telmasartin and don’t think they have any side effects or impact on training. However, during our trial-and-error process to get the right combination I was briefly on a Beta Blocker. It was devastating from a workout standpoint. Couldn’t get my heart to beat faster than about 120. It was like trying to drive a car when you couldn’t get the engine to rev higher than idle. I went back to the Doc after a week and told him it was ruining my life. BUT…it seemed to really lower the BP!
