I am 49 years old and have high blood pressure now under control with Ziac. Before taking the Ziac is was about 180/90....with the Ziac it is 160/80. The problem is for quite some time my pulse rate is 46. While I do work out with light weights moderately and ride an excercise bike about 30 minutes daily, I do have glaucoma since I was 32, in one eye only. It is being controlled with the following eye medications, Betoptic, Alphagan, Trusoft, Lotemax, and Xlytan every day. Problem is I have always felt quite lethargic and tired since I began taking these medications. Is the low pulse rate being being affected by these medications and since I can't eliminate them for the eye pressure will go up, what can I do to bring the pulse rate up?
