Cardiologist update #3

Saw my cardiologist this morning, and while my blood pressure is doing great, 105/80 or thereabouts, my heart rate still hasn't calmed down (116). So he's doubling my dosage of Lopressor to 50 mg x2/day. But he told me to watch out for lightheadedness due to blood pressure dropping even further, and said in that case I should skip the evening dose of methyldopa.

He also told me to be as much of a couch potato as possible. Heh, so I guess that if I wasn't on bed rest already, he'd be putting me on it now. Can a slug act like a couch potato?
