maximum heart rate
by quercus, Nov 07, 2007 12:07AM
Hi, In the last 2 years I have been taken Atenolol to control my heart rate and aspirin for the thinning of blood. My pulse is between 60 to 75 and Bp 110/75 some times lower.
I am 50 and have been always physically active in sports.Recently about a year ago I took up cycling and have been monitoring my heart rate. My max heart rate should be at 153.I ride a 100 miles a week and been getting my heart rate up to 210 when climbing steep grades not often but it hapens. My average heart lately have been 133
I am scheduled to wear a heart monitor for 24 hrs this thursday.Is there anything they can do to help this sitauation? What is happening to my system when I am over 153? The heart count fluctuates from high to lows in a matter of seconds.

I am 52 and I'm on atenolol as well. But I take it because I had an ablation for AFIB and I do it more for maintenance to keep the blood pressure lower so I don't develop any needless stretching of the pulmonary veins. My general exercise heart rate is between 130 and 140. At that rate I can talk and feel comfortable. I can go for about 60 minutes at that rate. My resting heart rate is about 50 to 55. When I press my rate above 150 I know I am starting to over work.
