A member asked:
If am on a beta blocker, why can i feel a strong heartbeat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart Beat: Beta blockers (ex. Lopressor, metoprolol, inderal, coreg, bystolic (nebivolol) etc..) have an inherent tendency to slow down and lower your heart rate. It's a divine intervention that one should not feel his/her own heart beat or breathing - if you feel them both - it clearly indicates that something is wrong - and need medical attention. It is normal not feel your heart beat.
