Nebivolol For Palpitations. Should I Play Sports? Is It Safe To Run Around And Exercise?
Question: Dear Doctor,
I m 31 years Old male , and My Cardiologist gave me medication for high pluse ( palpitations). I m taking ½ pill of Nebivolol ( 5 mg ) , I take 2.5 mg once a day in the morning.
Now after being on medication my resting pulse is between 65 bpm and 72 bpm, and my cardiologist did full tests and 24 Hr EKG + ECG + Chest scan and he told me all my readings & results are normal and under control.
He advises me to keep playing sports like running and so on and he told me its safe and very good for my health and heart . My question is : is it normal for my Pulse to reach 140 bpm – 150 bpm when I run on the treadmill and is it safe to run for 15 minutes – 20 minutes with pulse 140 bpm – 150 bpm taking into consideration that I don’t feel any fatigue or dizziness while running , and I feel ok after I finish sports . so I m just making sure it’s fine to keep training at this level. My age is 31 , my weight is 70 Kg and Im 174 cm tall.
Thanks for your advice and reply.
Best regards

Hello XXXXXXX,
In a normal person the heart rate can go up to (that is called Target Heart Rate while doing a Treadmill Test under supervision and monitoring) 220- Age of the person, so in your case 189.
You had perhaps inappropriate sinus tachycardia or paroxysmal supra ventricular tachycardia (as a cause for Palpitations) was probably detected in Holter, therefore the medication was prescribed. Your doctor has done something right because the readings you wrote and weight you have is perfect. Good Luck.
If you have any query for me please do not hesitate in asking I will be most happy to reply.
With Best Wishes
