Thanks for the opinions folks, that matches my reasearch too.
Not trying to play Doctor Kuri but don't want to be an alarmist either. Just trying to make sure that I am not overlooking anything. I have an older (over 45) year old obese man with a RHR of 50, complaining that he cannot get into a higher heartrate zone and he is on this BP medicine. Before I prescribe HR Zones for HIIT work or any cardio work I want to make sure that his medication is not interfering with his natural HR. I could not find anything in my research on the medication that he is specifically taking that conclusively stated that it did alter HR but there was a lot of "hinting" that there could possibly be a side affect from certain types of similar medications. So that still leaves me uncertain...
I am simply wondering if there is a site somewhere that you guys use and trust that is fairly simple to use and gives these kinds of answers even if it is a paid for site.
