Stark reminder not to take #HeartHealth for granted. After a couple of nights on the tiles last weekend, my body went into #AFib / #AtrialFibrillation. Something it's not done in ages. So I've not been able to #run and have been back on the #BetaBlockers. Stupid ageing body. It's so finely calibrated and turns out I can't party like I used to without consequences. So have had the whole week off and am going to very gently attempt #ParkRun this morning. The #running is the only thing that gets it under control, but my body won't allow me to run until I get my heart rate down! Normally takes a minute. Fellas.... Look after yourselves and don't take your #health for granted. Because it's a pain in the ass when you're in a constant battle for it.

🩺💊 Beta-blockers are commonly used to treat high blood pressure, but new research suggests they may not be needed long-term

Patients who stopped taking beta-blockers did not have an increased risk of heart disease or death #betablockers #hypertension

4yrs + 2 #ablations since I last used a #Wattbike (used a guest gympass) #betablockers put a limit on my effort.Really pleased with this ride.
I'll use the metrics to calibrate the effort I put in on my old mountain bike on a turbo set up at home.

Good to be out on the mountain #bike this morning. Felt reasonabe inspite of the limiting #betablockers Pretty dismal weather,lots of mud,River Severn swollen.

I saw a #neurologist for #headaches yesterday, and he said I have "too many #migraines." He put me on #BetaBlockers.

I took the first one last night...

Usually when I wake up, my body is tense and my face hurts from clenching all night. Today I awoke feeling relaxed, calm...even joyful? It was a sensation I hadn't felt in maybe 30 years.

Maybe it's all in my head, maybe not (I mean, how can it work so quickly?)--but either way, wow.

I feel refreshed.
