Where do i start? I take:
Diovan 80mg
Atenolol 100 mg
HCTZ 25 mg
Lipitor 10 mg
Aggranox 200/25
Was just on the Atenolol prior to a stroke in 2004. The rest have been added since then. I really don't do enough riding (that's what I keep telling my wife anyway). The combination of stuff makes me feel tired... but just getting out on the bike ( forcing myself sometimes) makes me feel great. Doc had me on 160mg Diovan....i slept most of the time lol.
Although i don't like to take the stuff, it is better than the alternative... following my stroke i had to relearn all the important life skills...tying shoes, using buttons, walking, riding a bike, and to my wife's regret, playing the banjo!
The atenolol does limit my HR.... but so does a fatal stroke or heart attack.
