Re: “...except for the question of 'Why?'”Hm. Could be my own fault. I'm on metoprolol tartrate (as opposed to succinate.) Metopolol tartrate is supposed to be taken with food because "Food can affect absorption." Today I took a nap and skipped dinner, then woke after 9 p.m. and took my pills.... I guess skipping dinner isn't such a good idea!

My heart rate is back to 53 bpm - which the machine calls a "regular heart rate." It's almost 2 a.m. and I'm hungry. I wonder what's in the fridge?

Sheez... I was feeling a little sluggish so I took my pulse with a cool little EKG gadget I've got. 48 bpm. That's the lowest ever. (51 was my previous record.) 45 minutes later I checked again. 47 bpm.

I've got a feeling my meds need a little adjusting. Metoprolol would be the culprit. Before taking it, my heart rate had never gone below 62 or so.

This is also the only time my EKG has ever reported anything other than "regular heart beat." Now it's saying "Slow heart rate," which probably isn't much of a concern except for the question of "Why?"
