What's your nebiv dose? I'm prescribed 10mg and it makes me very lethargic to where I want to sleep all day. Stopped taking it but I'm sticking it up lol

I've been taking 5mg and it seems to be a good place for me.

Have had shit sleep the last week. Felt weak as fuck today but still trained as hard as I can. Crazy how failure can literally be one or two reps less than a previous weeks workout just because of sleep. Proves how important it is to make it a priority.

Hey man, do you remember how soon your RHR started dropping when you introduced nebivolol? I've read it has an impact on RHR within couple hours and if any blood pressure reduction after 2 weeks give or take.

I took 2,5mg 10 hours ago and hasn't done anything to my RHR, you think i should keep that dose for a few days or start 5mg tomorrow?

Do you have an apple watch or something that monitors your rhr all day?

Yes i have but i don't trust it 100%, sometimes it's off compared to my BP device. Today my morning RHR was reduced by 6-7 bpm, so it might started working. I'm gonna keep the same dosage for a few days and reassess later.

what type of bp device do you use? Also how old is your apple watch?

Even if your apple watch is wrong, its going to consistantly be wrong. So it's a good metric to use to see if RHR is dropping compared to normal. You should be able to go to your health app, and see what your RHR is doing on an hourly basis for the last few hours, days, weeks, months, etc. If you look at the week, you should see a drop in RHR once the meds went in.

BP device is nice, but its just a snapshot in time. And your RHR could be dramatically different based on a lot of variables during the time you take that single reading.

Apple watch should give you a more compete story.

I have a Omron M2 with extra XXL arm cuff. I've compared it (just once though) with a old school analog one and it was spot on. It's not a apple watch but a different brand, i have it 3 years. Mostly for step counting and sleep.

As i said it's not Apple, it gives me the daily average and also a detailed 24hr analysis. I might start comparing current with past and future readings but i'll still rely on the BP device too. Cheers!
