[QUOTE=Hill-Shatar]I thought that they would have given you the beta blocker that blocks β1 receptors, as non specific ones would have agitated your asthma. Well, β1 blockers would in high doses, but I don't think your dosage would have been high enough to cause any harm.[/quote]
I can't speak to their reasoning behind a specific med, but when I reported the increased incident of asthma earlier this week, they gave me a calcium channel blocker, instead. Given the research we've found on the Web about the two, I admit to being confused why they didn't start with the latter, instead.
Or was the beta blocker switched out with another beta blocker, the one I mentioned above? Oh dear, I hope I am not confusing you with my pharmaceutical mumble-jumble. 
Don't mind me, I didn't mean to pry. I should not even be asking.
No problem. It's not as if my life isn't an open book to a fascinated world.
Hopefully this will not have a big impact on your lifestyle.
I doubt it. The damage was slight, and the adjustments I have to make are very slim. The real kicker is simply noting that there's a history of factors in my family causing heart disease. I hadn't known about that, because my mother hadn't decided to share. Typically, when my wife first spoke with her following the exploratory surgery and pointed out (upon being asked) that the causes were hereditary, my mother immediately replied, irritably, "It's always my fault!"
She never could accept responsbility for anything.
