XPOST from Diet & Fitness: Is anyone one here pharmaicist? Does Toprol (a heart med) slow down your metabolism?
My exercise physiologist at cardiac rehab told me it may slow down my metabolism (which explains a lot). I have been on Toprol for 4 months before my heart surgery and I am still on it (almost 3 months later).
Does it slow down your metabolism? This is so frustrating. I going to cardiac rehab Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. They are kicking my butt and I am exhausted. I am meeting with the nutritionist on Friday and I was told I need to loose 35-40 pounds (I still have the baby weight and I could not loose it before surgery).
How can I do this when my meds are possibly slowing me down?  Plus, taking Alli or anything else is OUT of the question. I just have to work my butt off (literally) and eat healthy stuff.
On a positive note, it felt so good to work out again with out having to worry about having atrial fribirlation from exercising.  I am so happy that I am on the right track.
I feel like a mack truck hit me, but they say that should go away in a few weeks. I hope they are right.

TY for posting. I have not seen problems, but she told me it could slow down your metabolism. I just wanted to see if it was true.

Yes, I am actually pretty sure that all beta blockers slow down your metabolism. I am on propanolol and was told that by the cardiologist.
So glad you are feeling well

Glad I checked this one last time before going to bed. TY for posting.
Well, that is great news  . So, not only do I have to work my butt off, I cannot take anything like Alli and the toprol is slowing down my metabolism. I guess it will take a long time for this weight to come off.
