A member asked:
After taking antipsychotics, whenever i exercise my heart rate stays elevated for many hours after stopping. does have to do with dopamine blocking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medicine side effect: Dopamine blockade does not cause the heart rate to go up. The anticholinergic side effects of some antipsychotics or anticholinergics used with antipsychotics may cause the heart rate to go up a little.
