When you do make particular from nextgen’s rehabilitation and today i want to have a quick chalices what about exercise prescription in relation to individuals who are on beta blockers so a lot of questions in the past with some of my patients and clients that i’ve been working with in the hospital in the community about why they feel so fatigued or you know a
Little bit out of shape when they’re on this medication so i just wanted to break it down for you real quick so the biggest reason that people are cardiologist put you on beta blockers is so that a they can keep your blood pressure lower and b they can keep your heart rate at a sustained level because of whatever episode you got going on whether it been open heart
Whether you suffer for my retention whether you have some sort of arrhythmia cardiologist main goal is to protect the heart and by dosing you with a beta blocker they able to make sure that your blood pressure rubberised too high when performing some type of exercise or some type of physical activity now what specifically happens within the body so in the hard
Way of these cells known as beta cells and the beta block is a block these receptors may prevent certain stimulants from attaching into them so if a stimulant attaches into a normal beta cells it causes the arctic extract over more forcefully increasing blood pressure increase in heart rate if you go ahead and take this beta blocker it’s going to inhibit that
From happening and decrease in heart rate and decrease in blood pressure now when performing certain exercises a lot of patients would be like well you know what it feels like i’m working so hard but i can’t get my blood pressure or i can’t get my heart rate above of my hundred and that’s totally normal if you’re on a beta blocker and the depending on what dosage
Available okay you’re on like i mentioned earlier in this video the whole purpose of being on it is to prevent the heart from contracting too hard and too intensely especially when performing a specific exercises so i don’t want anyone to be alarmed or you shouldn’t be alarmed if you’re not finding that you are it is getting to a higher point the main thing that
You want to focus on is how you’re feeling physically is this exercise challenging for you and now we’re actually going to talk about that in the next video on how hard individuals who are other artists you should be exercising exercise prescription and exercise intensity one thing people should be aware of though when they are in beta blockers is getting up too
Fast so your doctor might have mentioned to you but if you’re getting out of a bed make sure you roll over onto your side and then get up slowly if you’re getting off the floor roll onto your side push yourself up and dini take a second if you feel light-headed and then stand up and this just goes back to the seams you know we already explained these beta cells
Are blocked so your heart rate isn’t going to be able to pump as forcefully now when you go ahead and stand up very quickly gravity is pushing your blood down now in the normal normal response because you’re not on beta blockers you’d be able to come to the blood back yard but because you’re on beta blockers it’s preventing your heart from forcefully contracting
Which means you’re going to stand up and it’s going to take your body a little bit of time to to pump that blood back to the heart because the beta blocker is taking the fact on your body and that’s another reason why when performing exercises you don’t want to be working out too hard there’s a lot of people will try to push themselves even though they’re not going
To be able to get to heart rate into a higher intensity and you know come later on that day they’re going to feel super tired they may feel tired during their exercise they might even feel extra tired the next day because they totally exhausted their body tried pushing it to a rate that they weren’t able to because this medication is keeping you lower so that’s
Why when we run exercise treadmill test we ask the clients to to make sure that they take the beta blockers so we can prescribe your specific re-arranged for them to be training at when when they’re actually performing exercise versus not being unavailable okay so hopefully that was you know able to ask you a couple of the questions that are coming at me from out
There and if you do have any more questions please leave them in the comment section below and like i said the next video i will be making is going to be on exercise prescription for our patients specifically how are you should be working out now i’m either on your own or when you you’re working out with either kinesiology success geologists right enjoy the rest
Your day till next time dipper tap for next gen rehabilitation
