I was initially put on one beta blocker that reduced my heart rate AND also my oxygen saturation rate, requiring me to use supplemental O2. I think it was Toprol. I was switched to a cardioselective beta blocker, zebeta 5mg which just reduces my heart rate and does NOT reduce my O2 saturation. The only effect I’ve noticed of the zebeta is it helps my heart beat a bit slower so I can sleep better at night—70 or 80 beats/minute instead of >100!

My blood pressure was and remains low normal, 95/60 or so.
