I’m more and more inclined to believe that yesterday’s heart problems (irregular and way too fast) were mostly if not all related to after effects from the dose of regadenoson given to me during a cardio PET scan on March 12th. I consulted “Dr. Google” and found that a couple of the possible side effects of regadenoson are irreglar heartbeat and tachycardia, both of which manifested themselves during yesterday’s rowing session.
Heart rate was irregular yesterday evening/last night and was much higher than normal all of last night, with its lowest being 70 BPM instead of its usual lowest being in the 40s.
This morning I did two rowing sessions. The first was an easy “Just Row” that had to stop at about 7:00. Heart rate was irregular and too high for the effort during that short (2,710 meters) session.
The second session was started about a half hour later and during that session, heart rate settled down to normal and remained regular.
Hurray!!
So perhaps all the residual effect of the regadenoson was finally shaken off this morning.
Both sessions were uploaded to YouTube as screen recordings and can be found at the following links: “Indoor Rowing 2710 meters Just Row mode 03162018” and “Indoor Rowing 7291 meters 03152018“.
Happy rowing to you.
