Medication before or after exorsize

by RadioAstronomyObserver, Oct 13, 2009 03:24PM
Double bypass April 2009
25MCG Synthroid
81mg Aspirin
2.5mg Lisinopril
6.25mg Carvedilol
40mg Simvastatin
nn mg Iron

*Synthroid, Asprin, Carvedidlol, Iron, in the am.  Little activity during the day (unemployed).
*Carvedilol after dinner with little activity however will on the occasion will walk a full mile.
*Then comes the Lisinopril, Carvedilol, Iron, Simvastatin.

  While doing the Rehab thing, It was only if I took the carvedilol two hours before going there where my heart would get a work out.  If I took the Carvedilol 30 minutes before we couldn't get my heart any faster then 80bps (goal was 100-110).  To date as mentioned above I have been taking the afternoon carvedilol then going for a walk and I know I can't get the heart beating fast enough for the half hour walk but it's getting dark and cold already.  The days I don't go for a walk I can tell when the carvedilol kicks in which gets me wondering if it would be safe to go for a walk before taking the carvedilol purposely to get the heart beating since this would be relatively unmonitored?

  Found out the hard way! I think.

  There is 10-12 hours between the morning and evening pills.  Today I went for a walk and after 1/4 mile I had pain.  It didn't "hurt" as much as I could tell something was happening that shouldn't be.  So, I'll take the pills before going for my walk and just walk harder to get the heart working.
