Open Question: Does Xenadrine cause the heart to slow down?
I ask this because I have been taking Xenadrine Ultra for three weeks along with proper diet and a workout I have lost a few pounds. I have been about fifty pounds overweight from what I should be for my height range and have always had moderately high blood pressure and a resting heart rate of between 100-105. Because the side effects listed on the box speak of a rapid heart rate and an increase in blood pressure I have been keeping an eye on both and have noticed a significant drop in both my blood pressure (its actually normal) and a slower resting heart rate (between 86-76). Although my mother, a nurse, chalks it up to my losing weight, working out more and eating properly, and since she works in the med field I took her word as is and thought nothing more of it. The other day however, I went to work out on the treadmill and didn’t even get a quarter of a mile done before I stopped. I couldn’t do it. I felt incredibly lethargic. Not exhausted but as if I had no physical ability to continue. I told my mother, who gave me a once over (both blood pressure and heart rate were ‘normal). Just to be safe she took me to my doctor (more so I think to calm me down). During the exam the doctor listened to my heart and thought he heard a murmur and ordered tests but they showed that I had no murmur. I was told to scale back on the workouts. A few days passed and I decided to do light housework instead of my usual workout. I took one basket of laundry to the laundry room and when I came back up I got that lethargic feeling back. I didn’t feel up to do anything but lie in bed. I went to the doctor the next day and my blood pressure was normal and my heart rate was 72. Again, they he said that my heart rate was slow but it was normal. When I looked online it stated that lethargy can be caused by slow heart rates and I am curious if its a side effect of the drug or as my mother says, things are leveling out. I looked online and found tons of info regarding Xenadrine causing an increase in heart rate but not the other way around. I was curious to know if it could cause a decrease in heart rate or as everyone keeps telling me I am just getting healthier. If this is a side effect of the drug, could it be dangerous and therefore I should stop taking it.
