This may seem like a silly question but does a lot of sugar up ones heart rate ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a high pulse rate and I'm trying to know why. I noticed that drinking tea is the very first thing that causes high pulse rate. About sugar I'm not sure but I was thinking about trying 1 week without sugar at all and see what would happen.

Also I'm sure that salt causes my high pulse rate. You know it takes a lot of time to determine how your body react to the food you eat daily. For example, maybe the combination of salt and sugar in our food causes the high pulse rate. I'm not sure yet but I will try to know because I don't like to be on Beta-Blockers for the rest of my life.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,

I'm on Toptol XL and I like you, do not want to stay on it. I have been on this for 2 years for fast heart rate and high BP.

I'm going to lay off the sugar this week to see if it helps also.

Hello RW,

I have been on Zebeta (Beta-Blocker) for 3 and half years but I stopped it 5 monthes ago. It's a very bad drug class, it causes Depression and lack of concentration plus vision problems. So you still on Toptol ??
Thanks,
Michael

I still take Toprol but I am going to talk to my doctor about trying to wean off of it. I want to try weight loss, exercise, etc to get the heart rate lower.

I'm off the Toprol for 24 hrs so I can have a food allergy test tomorrow. I found out from the allergist that Toprol inerfers with the medicine used to counteract a severe allergic reaction. One of several reasons I want to get off of it.
